The Pleiades is a cluster of hundreds of stars about 400 light years from Earth.

Although it is referred to as the Seven Sisters, only six bright stars can be seen with the naked eye in the night sky.

Our sun, which is the eighth star of Pleiades and is a twin star to Sirius A, orbits Alcyone, the central star in the Pleiades about every 24,000 years (not to be confused with the major ‘New-Age’ cycle of 26,556 years).

The Pleiadians are considered our nearest brothers due to the fact that, as mentioned earlier, the race became divided within the Lyra civilizations following conflicts and wars; some went to the Pleiades and others to Earth.

Again conflicts caused a division and a section of the population on Earth departed and settled in the Pleiades.

Since then, over thousands of years, both the Lyrans and Pleiadians have visited and stayed on Earth, adding further to the genetic pool.

The group which made their home in the Pleiades devoted themselves to benevolent relationships, meditation and spiritual upliftment, with complete avoidance of negativity, contrary to the Earth group.

As a result of thousands of years of Pleiadian evolution along these more harmonious lines of development, they became thousands of years ahead of Earth both technologically and spiritually.

Nevertheless, the Pleiadians in their determination to avoid conflict had withdrawn as a civilization and were not aware of what was going on in the galaxy. They developed advanced technology but kept to themselves and began to lose touch with reality. For example, wars were still waging on planet Earth.

During this time a race from the Orion empire had grown in power and were conquering planets in the neighborhood galaxy. A galactic war ensued which was essentially the Orions against everyone else.

This ‘everyone else’ eventually formed the first confederation.

The Pleiadians, however, were unaware all this was going on. When they realized it they were compelled to intervene. In fact the violence of the Orions represented a reflection of the Pleiadians’ inner suppression. They turned on the Orions vigorously and the Orions retaliated. In fact they destroyed one of the Pleiadians beautiful planets of life. To this day it is still a burned-out lifeless planet.

The Pleiadians eventually became enlightened as to the role the Orions played in their own inner turmoil. Some even reincarnated into the Orion group.

By now the Orion’s reign of violence had ceased and they came under the Galactic Confederation and Brotherhoods. The next step was for the Pleiadians to confront their own negativity through contact with an unevolved planet such as Earth.

They visited Earth but as was the case with all visiting relatively-evolved races they were treated as gods.

They have since visited Earth many times, in fact, they have, as a result of a more recent fortuitous event, a very rapid means of transit in their spacecrafts via the vortex of our Great Pyramid.

This occurred as a result of a tilt in the Earth’s axis, changing the realignment of the pyramid from one directed at Sirius to resonance with the Pleiades.

NOTE: The Sirians previously used it for rapid transport to Earth in case of an emergency in which the resistance aliens were tampering with the Arc of the Covenant – see below insert:

THE ARC OF THE COVENANT
The book Voyagers, volume 2, covers this subject in some detail. It explains that the true information on the nature and meaning of the Arc has been withheld from man for a long time.

The Arc of the Covenant wasn’t the chest containing the Rod and the Staff, though there were powers associated with the Rod and the Staff, nor was it the Ankhs, possessing even greater potencies. The Arc is an energy device involving much more multidimensional concepts.

The Arc was created 840,000 years ago; originally named the Arch of the Covenant of Palaidor (an agreement amongst the Palaidorians – consisting of several races – to help humans).

It is a portal bridge between the Sphere of Amenti in the Andromeda galaxy and Earth’s core via the Great pyramid to enable the third seeding of the human race to take place.

Originally the pyramid was meant as a harmonic resonance chamber for pulling in multidimensional energies from deep space and from Sirius B using a great Ankha in the capstone, with the additional purposes to fortify the portal of the Arc of the Covenant and serve as an interdimensional teleportation centre. It is situated on the heart chakra of the Earth.

Apparently Noah’s Arc was not a boat. It refers to the Arc of the Covenant in the Great Pyramid, and the description in the Bible refers to the passageway leading to the Arc. Noah sheltered in the inner-Earth from the Great Flood via the pyramid.

This understanding of the Arc is revealed in Howard Middleton-Jones’ and James Wilkie’s book Giza-Genesis. It is also related in Anna Hayes’ material.

Now, we are all familiar with the ‘prime directive’ of the Star Trek series relating to noninterference by extraterrestrials.

The Pleiadians are probably the most strict on this rule, which no doubt has arisen because of their no-intervention violation during the last photon-belt encounter (our solar system traverses the photon belt – a ‘nebula’ of electromagnetic energy of light and other frequencies – every 10,000 years or so.)

This particular interaction with the photon belt caused many Earth upheavals. Evacuation procedures were organized by the Pleiadians to save Earth people from the cataclysms. It is reported that this intervention unfortunately arrested the development of our civilization, interfering with a potential quantum leap in learning and evolution in which this photon belt experience was necessary to catalyze change.

Owing to this destructive intervention, spiritual law decrees that the Pleiadians, in creating these negative consequences of blocking our race’s progress must be ‘tied’ to Earth and not able to evolve until they have aided us in our evolution in a positive manner.

In fact it was stated that they must help us to catch up to them before they can progress further.

Thus we can be sure that the Pleiadians, having learned their lessons of their inopportune ‘kindness’ to Earthlings, will act with maximum benevolence towards Earth.

There are six planets in the Pleiades inhabited by advanced Pleiadians though there are variations in the genotype and consciousness expression. (Common sense would seem to dictate that if there are hundreds of stars there must be more than six planets inhabited; this needs further checking.)

Three of the planets are inhabited by human-type Pleiadians, that is, are in similar bodies to humans, and the other planets are inhabited by light and energy beings, where reside a council of twelve super beings who rule the Pleiadian culture.

The three planets that are inhabited by the physical type are called,
• Arian
• Alderon
• Aldebaran
There is a collective group of Pleiadians consisting of beings both focused in bodies and manifesting as light beings, which are channeling information through Barbara Marciniak (these Pleiadians, which could consist of members from all the six planets, are gathering further non-Pleiadian members).

Of the human type of Pleiadian there is a variation in height.

One race has bodies around seven feet tall and another smaller, about five to six feet. These typical Pleiadians are Caucasian and a combination of several genetic types. In appearance eyes range from blue to golden and slightly almond-shaped in the shorter stature race. Hair is light and in rare cases, dark or are redheads, and ears a fraction lower than human’s.

It was the seven-foot Pleiadians who according to the book History of the Universe by the Unarius Educational Foundation, once visited the Orion empire with a view to lifting their civilization into a more spiritual development.

On arrival the Orions’ egos were deflated by the taller stature of the Pleiadians and their beautiful sleek and swift spacecrafts.

Each race, Orion and Pleiadian, accepted the extended visit as an exchange of culture, though the Pleiadian’s intent was rehabilitation and the Orion’s was a deceptive acceptance to inveigle better technology from the Pleiadians and further, to attempt to subtly degrade them.

Needless to say it was not a successful exchange.

Emotionally the Pleiadians are very harmonious due to the path of development they chose to take, which avoided negativity, even repression, but are now going beyond repression. Nevertheless, emotionally they are similar to humans but wouldn’t be happy confronting negative emotions the way humans do.

In fact we are informed that advanced ETs will avoid interacting with the negative vibrations of this planet except on special missions.

They report that walking, say, in the streets of New York is like walking through solid rock – a high density of fragmented low vibrations – and subsequently is painful. They are somewhat affected adversely by our polluted air but needn’t wear protection.

In addition we are told from other sources that some Pleiadian races breath nitrogen (oxygen ‘rusts’; ages the body). Humorously speaking (and its effect) nitrous oxide would be a common ground for Pleiadians and humans.

Billy Meier states they are keen gardeners and this enables them to maintain contact with creation. Some of their flowers change color during the day to obtain maximum benefit from the sun.

He explains that every Pleiadian must become familiar with 12 to 20 professions. They do not marry until at least 70 and mature in 12 to 15 years, and they have strict mental and physical examinations before marriage.

When a child is born on Pleiades it is soon given spiritual exercises and education.

After about eight months it may be taken into large room softly padded for its protection and comfort. It will then be encouraged to communicate. Up to this age, the child is very receptive to other dimensions and past lives, and thus the Pleiadian adult gleans as much information as possible during this time for their benefit as well as the child’s.

They download information using special colored crystals and by moving their hands over the crystals.

The baby might be crawling about during this time. Play, for the child on Pleiades, has been perfected as a benevolent applied science. Pleiadians as well as humans are at their most spiritual in very early and very late years since they are in communication more with the next dimension.

Pleiadians vibrate on the spectrum of blue which means they speak their truth and demand justice for all. They are particularly advanced in music and dance. Their main contribution to Earth is to bring new forms of music that we are beginning to experience.

This music contains higher vibrations, designed to activate the higher vortices, chakras, within humans to transform humans’ consciousness into the higher dimensions. They are experts in sound and light creations, and have opened up many channels on Earth for the advancement of science, art, medicine, and the humanities.

They have many bases on Earth; for example, in the U.S. and the Alps. The latter has been in existence for over 70 years.

It is in a closed valley between high peaks and has no roads in or out. It cannot be seen from the air. Meier’s contact described a mother-ship. The contact said it took nearly half a day to explain the mother-ship and they had barely scratched the surface.

The mother-ship is not just a 10.5-mile sphere in space, but an assembly consisting of one such sphere, three smaller, several mile-diameter spheres joined to the central one 120 degrees apart and below the central one, and a smaller control pod one-half to three-quarter mile in diameter mounted on a long extension three to four miles or more above the main sphere.

The whole construction is about 20 miles long. It is entirely built and assembled in space and is not dependent on any planet.

The three lower spheres contain the manufacturing facilities and the many factories, repair shops, and food production and processing centers for the whole colony. The larger central sphere contains all of the living quarters, parks, recreational facilities, and the spacecraft hangar decks (see UFO Contact from the Pleiades by Wendelle Stevens.)

The contactee Billy Meier became somewhat of an expert on Pleiadians.

He was contacted by a female Pleiadian named Semjase from the planet Erra. We might note that she was trained in what we would call diplomatic communication skills for initial interactions with other civilizations.

This is quite typical that females perform this role the best. In the near future female astronauts on Earth will be common. The feminine energy is more conducive for this duty.

Semjase’s age at that time was 330 years, less than half normal age. She explains about space travel, learning alien languages, 10-mile long mother-ships and teleportation and androids. The Pleiadians believe in ‘God,’ often referred to as the Law of One, and treat humans as equals.

They are members of the Interdimensional Association of Worlds involving tens of thousands of different ET cultures and even more representatives from the higher, spiritual realms.

Billy Meier also refers to female ET astronauts Menara and Alena from the Lyra group, who worked closely with the Pleiadians. Another ‘young’ female ET from the Pleiades is Sasha, 340 years old, petit, about 100 lbs and 5 feet tall with almond eyes.

She describes herself as a socio-cultural engineer/anthropologist. She would be invisible to us as are all these ETs of greater spiritual advancement and therefore vibration. Though they can lower their vibrations to ours. The Pleiadians are very spontaneous and act in the now.

Sasha states that their digestive system is different from ours: a central organ with millions of capillaries expanding to the rest of the body and skin surface. Nutrition, which is almost entirely juices with occasional bulk foods, is digested by their ‘stomach’, and waste is passed out at the skin pores.

Their human-type elimination system, not needed for many centuries, has atrophied. In other words, there are no toilets on this planet. Clothing is generally loose fitting and made of an organic material that feeds off the toxins from the skin, converting them to a healthy lubricant, which goes back into the skin.

Their skin has a translucent glow. She states that their brain’s frontal lobes are larger than ours for intuition and rear ones are more developed for seeing multidimensionally.

Their skeleton is more cartilage than bone, especially in the pelvic region. Thus they are much less prone to bone breakages.

Note that other Pleiadian races are more similar to humans internally and have intestines 6 – 8 feet shorter than ours. They don’t digest the same kind of heavy foods, such as meat. The Pleiadian races are the most similar to humans, even with regard to the ease with which we believe something or have faith.

As with the Zetas they enjoy creating light shows mentally, except that the Pleiadians can put this on the automatic and let the emotions control the light show.

As a final comment let us emphasize that not all Pleiadians have the welfare of mankind at heart.

In addition, there are Anunnaki sources channeling through human vehicles, including Pleiadian-Nibiruans, posing as benevolent guidesbut often supporting the Anunnaki agenda for takeover of Earth.

to listen to Laura’s interesting analysis for the coming month:Gemini New Moon 2014 – May 30, 2014

Saturday’s energy brings the feeling of wanting to strike out off the beaten path and change things up. A pioneering spirit is kindled.

Internal conflict can arise, however, if we are clinging to something that is not the way we want it (but is familiar and comfortable), clinging to the past, or clinging to what is worn out. The energy is pushing us to seek a more satisfying experience, but fear of change and fear of the unknown are impediments. If internal conflict embroils you today, moderate the feeling by doing something new – not necessarily making a drastic change, but taking a step in the direction of taking care of your needs. This energy contributes to the overall energy this month that has us standing up for ourselves and becoming stronger inside.

Chiron’s themes of wounding and healing are strong this weekend, as Venus transits the Chiron Point. This brings, on one end, enhanced potential for self-sabotaging behavior and feelings of being victimized. We tend to go digging in the dirt to find the places we were hurt. It is important to ground ourselves in the present and not fall away or become lost in the past. Unless the trauma is happening right now, it is in the past. Don’t get it twisted. Don’t be tricked into dredging up scars from the past. This is self-sabotage and it wastes the present moment. If the issue is current and is affecting you, your spirit is calling you to remedy it. It is letting you know what you need to do if you listen.

The other end of Chiron brings a salve of healing and unlocked creativity. Any efforts to strengthen or care for your temple – your body and psyche – yield stronger results. Chiron rules reiki, acupuncture, massage – all types of therapies. But walks in nature are miraculous healers. It’s wise to reconnect yourself with the natural world and her creatures today. Link up and feel your inner strength build.

I will post separately tomorrow, as we enter the Crescent Moon phase. Double the amount of “Crescent” energy is on tap through June 4. As I discussed in detail in the audio recording for this cycle (available above), Crescent energy challenges us to not give up on things – especially the wishes, goals, and intentions that were set with the New Moon in Aries.

Just a quick update. For the time being, I seemed to have passed through my Quantum Physics phase, and am now working on a more personal piece, telling my own story of encountering the wetiko spirit. My hope is to flesh out an abstract understanding of wetiko psychosis by using myself as my own case study, becoming my own guinea pig in the process. This might become my next article, or possibly another book; we shall see.

I am enclosing a recent review of Dispelling Wetiko by author and professor emeritus Eric Larsen:

This is the pretext of Jean Haines to the following post and I want to share it with all of you here:

I just today that I think we are going to make this paradigm shift in a relatively peaceful way, and this article shows up in my mailbox! This short article is jam-packed full of practical information. ~J

Master the Path of the Peaceful WarriorFrom Master the Path of the Peaceful Warrior On-line Courseby Dan Millman(Via Email)

(The following is an excerpt from the “Master the Path of the Peaceful Warrior” on-line course. If you would like to enroll in the course, click here.)

Of the many factors that shape our lives — geographical location, family dynamics, resources and influence, beliefs, self-concept, support systems, motivation, relationships, luck, karma or fate — our sense of self-worth is the single most important determinant of the health, abundance, and joy we allow into our life.

To the degree we doubt our worthiness, we limit or sabotage our efforts, and undermine our relationships, finances or health. Ever wondered, for example, why so many young actors, who gain sudden wealth, fame, and celebrity, go on to self-destruct with drugs and erratic behavior? Or why many able-bodied people live on the streets, reduced to begging for spare change. Or why some people continue to accept abusive mates or undesirable work conditions?

Once we understand the lessons of self-worth, we are in a better position to help such people — but first we must help ourselves. So, as we proceed, note the following points:

No one else can give you an improved sense of self worth. Self-worth comes from doing what is worthy.

Your innate worth has never been lowered, compromised, or touched by fate or circumstance. It exists as a fact of life, like air and trees, and doesn’t need to be raised, revitalized, or earned.

To make this topic relevant to your own life, let’s start with:

Self-Reflection on Self-Worth
Consider the following questions, and answer “Yes,” “No,” or “Sometimes.”

When fortune smiles on you, do you think, “This can’t last?”

• Do you find it easier or more ‘natural’ to give than to receive?

• Does your life feel like a series of problems?

• Does money seem scarce or hard to come by?

• Do you find your work or relationships unfulfilling?

• Do you work long ours and lack leisure time?

• Do you resent or envy people who take frequent holidays?

• Do you feel driven to work more, do more, be more than others?

• Do you overeat “comfort” food, smoke, drink alcohol daily, or use other drugs?

• Do you feel uncomfortable when you receive praise, applause, lots of attention, gifts or pleasure?

• Have you turned down or passed up opportunities in education, work, or relationships and later regretted it?

• Do you seem to get sick or injured more than other people?

• If someone asks the cost of your services, do you price yourself lower than others in your field to be “fair”?

If you answered “Yes” to a number of questions, did these circumstances or situations just happen to you solely through bad luck? Or is it possible that the choices you made, and actions you took, led to where you are?By acknowledging your role and responsibility in your current life, you find the power to make different choices.

That is not to say that someone who is robbed at gunpoint or run into by a drunk driver somehow “attracted” or “drew” such experiences due to low self-worth — such ideas are superstition or magical thinking.

But when we make choices that lead to difficulties, it is worth understanding in this context. For example, if you were abused as a child, the abuser was responsible — not you. But if you are abused as an adult (say by a troubled spouse), the abuse itself is not your responsibility — but the choice to stay with that person may point to low-self worth. (This is not about blame, but it is about acknowledging our role or responsibility, which leads to the power to change.)

Discovering your unconditional worth can help you expand fully into the world. It begins with a first step — awareness of the problem is the beginning of the solution.

Taking Charge by Taking Responsibility
Sometimes bad things just happen — a toss of the karmic dice: a hurricane or freak storm, or earthquake or other natural disaster — we may become a victim of circumstance. We can only make the best of those circumstances and learn from them and grow stronger.

But much of the time, our lives are shaped by the choices we ourselves make, and the actions we take. So if life isn’t going well, ask yourself this question: “Who’s doing this to me?” If the answer is “someone else” — if your boss or spouse or partner or another person appears to be the cause of your suffering — then ask yourself, “Who chose to be around this person? Who chose this job. Did I truly have no other options? Or do I believe that ‘beggars can’t be choosers’?”

Maybe it’s time to take another look.

We end self-sabotage only by taking responsibility for the choices and actions that created it. Only when we stop blaming our boss, the government, our parents, spouse or partner, children, circumstances, fate or God can we change our lives and say with conviction, “I chose where I am and who I’m with, and I can make other choices.”

Taking responsibility has nothing to do with blame or finding fault. Rather, taking responsibility is taking control, because it represents the power-moment when we recognize the degree to which our difficulties are self-generated, and that what we created, we can also change.

The Heart of Self-WorthWe don’t always get what we deserve in life; we get what we believe we deserve. So the problem is not your actual worth, but your perceived worth. Most of us have lost touch with our intrinsic goodness — our courage and humanity — allowed our worth to be covered over by memories of a thousand transgressions, real or imagined, so that we feel only partly deserving of life’s blessings.

EXERCISE:
Ask yourself: “How deserving am I?” Then give a numerical rating, somewhere between 1 to 100, based on how deserving you believe you are. Come up with whatever rating feels right and true for you. 60? 70? 80? 90? 95? Why?

Bear in mind that you have been subconsciously rating yourself since childhood. Now we bring it into the light, and consider how this self-perception has shaped your choices and your experiences.

Our sense of self-worth (or deservedness) comes from many influences, beginning in our early years — how we were treated by parents or other caregivers (as judgments placed upon us by others become internalized). Abused children, as well as people from stable and loving households, but with extremely high standards, may both grow up with self-worth issues. The source of self-worth issues is complex, and does not come exclusively from how well or poorly we behaved.

But whatever the reasons or sources for your internalized level of worth, the purpose of this week’s session is to draw it up from the depths and into the light of awareness.

Self-Worth and Self-SabotageAs I’ve noted, self-worth is a subconscious self-assessment of your perceived value, goodness, and deservedness. You allow yourself to receive only those people, experiences and blessings that reflect your sense of worth.

Success involves talent, effort, and creativity. But first and foremost, it requires a willingness to receive. As the saint Ramakrishna once said, “Rain or blessings may pour down from the heavens, but if you only hold up a thimble, a thimbleful is all you receive.”

The Choices You Make: The central theme of self-worth is that you subconsciously choose (or allow into your life) the level of people and experiences (both positive and negative) that you believe you deserve. Until you come to realize that life is full of cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it.

In any moment, you are free to choose the high road, by being kind to others, working hard, finding supportive partners, and following good role models. Or you may burn bridges, use drugs or alcohol, or choose destructive relationships. Through your choices, your sense of self-worth influences whether you choose to learn easy lessons or more difficult ones, to strive or to struggle.

These choices are not conscious. We don’t wake up one morning and say to ourselves, “I think I’ll sabotage my relationship today — oh, no, I already did that last week; today I’ll sabotage my finances.”

Some of us get in our own way and block success or abundance — we start but don’t finish that schooling or training that leads to a better career opportunity. Or we experience great success but self-sabotage, self-destruct, or don’t allow ourselves to ride the wave and enjoy it in perspective.

Looking back on your life, have you wondered, Why did I say that? Why did I do that? Have friends or loved ones advised against a choice or action, but you did it anyway because you just felt you had to? Now you understand the source, and can finally get out of your own way, and make more positive, empowering choices and to take actions to build a new life — whether in the realm of exercise, diet, rest and recreation, travel, improved working conditions, more education or training for a better income — the world opens up to you.

Your Innate and Unconditional Worth
Coming to appreciate your innate worth has nothing to do with entitlement or putting yourself above others. Rather it involves a basic recognition of your essential value as a human being — realizing that you have done the best you could and made the best choices you could see at a given point in your life. More important, unconditional worth does not have to be earned; it belongs to you just as it did when you were a young child.

Let’s say someone invited you in to gaze upon their newborn child or month-old infant. Most of us would gaze into that infant’s wide eyes and rate it 100 on the deservedness scale. You were that child once. When did you start subtracting, and why? Because you made mistakes? Said unkind things? Weren’t always respectful or kind? Had slips of integrity? (Well, if you were already perfected, you wouldn’t be living on this planet!)

Each of us is a H.I.T. — a human-in-training. It’s time you recognize that you’ve done the best you could each day of your life, taking into account your own baggage, information, limitations, wounds, and struggles. You made the best choices you could see at the time. And now the time has come to appreciate your innate worth and choose the higher roads of life.

The Power of Grace
Even when you don’t feel very kind, or brave, or deserving, the roof over your head continues to shelter you from storms, the sun shines upon you, your chairs keep supporting you, and so does your life. Life itself is an unearned gift. This is the hidden meaning of grace.

If you have debts to pay, then pay, then pay them forward in the currency of kindness to others — not by punishing yourself. Not ever again. It is not necessary. It never has been.

Daily Life Assignments:
(1) Remind Yourself: Write out the following words on a post-it, or piece of paper, and post it on your bathroom mirror so you see it each and every day: How good can I stand it today? (Because that’s how much good you’ll allow)

(2) Just Imagine: Let your imagination drift to a better life. Fantasize yourself as the star of a new movie of your life. You no longer have to be an extra or bit player, being told by others where to go and what you can or can’t do. In this exercise you become the director, the writer, and the star.

• Imagine, just for a moment, how specifically you might have an improved relationship (it may be with your current partner, but with some different elements); or, if it is a troubled relationship, then with another partner.

• Now do the same in the workplace — your current work, or another career or calling. What kind of work situation might you wish for?

• Let your mind drift to another area of life — what possibilities might await you there?

For any and all of these areas:

• Is it possible to draw closer to your dreams? Why or why not?

• What steps might you take?

• Who is stopping you? (If the answer is “me,” then this “me” can instead become a friend and supporter.)

Most of us have been our own “worst enemy” sometime in the past. Can you recall a choice you have made or action taken that you now see as a subconscious act of self-sabotage? What will you do to avoid such sabotage in the future?

How have you responded to favors, gifts, or opportunities? How might you respond differently now? What advice might you give yourself, as your own best friend, about allowing yourself to live a more abundant, enjoyable life?

The next time an opportunity arises that might interest you, or someone offers to give you something or do something for you — instead of the reactive, “Oh, thanks, but I couldn’t” open your arms and heart and mind, and say, “Yes! Thank you!” (Even if you don’t feel deserving.)

When you are alone, in quiet moments — as odd as it may feel — every once in a while, open your arms wide and say to an imagined person, or to life itself: “Yes! Thank you!” And let this be your approach to living — from now on, and as you continue through this course.

The pineal gland has various names such as pineal body, epiphysis cerebri, epiphysis or the third eye. This small endocrine gland is located in the vertebrate brain, between the hemispheres of two joining thalamic bodies in the center of the brain. It’s named after its shape which is conical. It produces a hormone that is capable of affecting the regulation of sleep and wake patterns. This hormone is called serotonin derivative melatonin.

What people don’t know about this gland is that it connects your soul to your body. Once your pineal gland is activated to the world of spirituality, it may seem as if you have the godlike power of knowing everything that’s going around you. A properly tuned pineal gland will take you to the other dimension, which is also known astral projection or remote viewing. This proper frequency can be achieved through meditation, yoga or some sort of occult method.

God said:
Good morning, class. Here is what We will participate in today. It is called happiness. I make this request of you to be happy and honor Me. You, who art My happiness, take happiness for yourself. Get used to it. Walk on this line that is called Happiness. It is for you. This is what I ask of you today. Be happy. This is more than being without cares, yet, also, be without cares regardless of what cares you perceive. Be carefree.

Carefree doesn’t mean careless. Be caring and carefree. Remind yourself that you are the Light of God. Remind yourself that God’s Light deserves happiness. And happiness is free for the asking.

What does it take to make you happy? First of all, don’t be unhappy. Second of all, don’t look for reasons for sorrow or dissatisfaction. You are alive in a brand-new world. You don’t have to be happy for a reason. Be happy because you exist and are My Child. Be My Child of Happiness. This is what I ask of you today.

Happiness is Being, of course, not doing. Be for Me and not so much for yourself. Be happy on My Behalf because happiness is the true state of affairs. All the rest is pasted on, even as you think all the rest is something serious going on. How serious can illusion be unless you say so?

Furthermore, I will tell you that you can be happy even in the midst of sorrow. Under the troubles you take for granted runs a pure stream of love. You ride on love, or you wade in love, effortless wading without any resistance to the pure stream that runs through you, beloved. Allow this pure stream of joy to be. This pure stream is beyond incidents that happen, those you consider favorable as well as those you consider unfavorable. Have an idea that there is no unfavorable. Now, that is a novel idea.

Whatever seems to assail you is not against you. You seem to be against that which you are convinced has assailed you. You are under My protection, yet this does not mean what you think it means in terms of the worldly world. You have words for things that you meet more than halfway, such as hardship, adversity, woe, trouble, heartache. These are your concepts. You decided them.

Within you, there is a little mechanism that you wind up. This little mechanism sets off an alarm that says: “Trouble identified.”

This alarm may go so far as to say: “Worst possible scenario.” This alarm is ever alert.

At the same time, you have available to you another mechanism that I would like you to use. This mechanism says:

“Smooth sailing ahead. The sun is out. The clouds are clear. Skies are blue.”

Further, this mechanism will say:

“Skies can look gray, and still life is okay.”

Beloveds, you are not dependent upon the weather for your happiness. You are not designed to be an automaton. You are designed to be a free-wheeling Star of the Universe. You are a Star of the Universe. I made you to shine light on the world. Light up the Universe then. Light it up with your Heart of Happiness.

Today is your day to make, beloved of My Heart. Have you been waiting for Me to make your day? Whatever the circumstances, leap above them which is another way to say:

“Dive deeply into the Pool of Love that you truly swim in, and keep your heart here with Me where the swimming is easy.”

Press the right button. Leave the dully predictive button alone. Press the rarer button that aligns your heart with the Sun, Moon, and Stars and opens the Universe wide for you.

Within you is the Universe. This is where it is. You are a reflector of the Universe, and the Universe also contains you. Reciprocal are you and the Universe. In this case, then, give cheer to the Universe. Resemble cheer. Be a cheerleader of the Universe. Inspire it. Motivate it. Live in the world and above the world. Go deeper, and acknowledge Heaven.

My beloved child, I ask you today on your Solstice to open your heart wide for the energies that are flowing to you. My Tsunami of Love has reached it’s climax since some days and will now remain so. The energies are knocking at your heart saying: “open yourself and let us in”.

You feel these energies and groan another time under them. They are sent to you as golden energy from my mother ship. The name of the ship is Mesime, it means ‘Light of God’ and is Sirian. She is the biggest ship of the Galactic Federation and is slowly approaching Earth. Because of her size she can’t come too near; she would disturb the energy fields of your planet. She is the mothership of the Divine Mother and consists of my own energy, she is sending to you now.

You might feel as if you are experiencing a great movement of energy, that has strong vibration of Healing Light and helps you in dissolving all in you that doesn’t serve you any more. They are going deep into you and you just need to let it happen and let go.

Simultaneously with these energies I send you my deep infinite love. Feel it, take it into yourself, my child. You know it so well. It is your home. It is of what you are made of and from where you come. Breathe it in and breathe out all that doesn’t serve you anymore. I love you so much, my child, and know that these energies and my love will wake you up and let you recognize who you are.

I give you also some more healing codes, which you can use in proven way out of your heart and in your love.

More healing codes 5

My child, today I will give you more healing codes. It is a while since the last now and I want to use the opportunity as long as my scribe is still on earth.

She had to cope first with the passing of her beloved dog into another dimension and also to regain her full balance before this is possible now.

She has recorded the last weeks in her journals and published her journey and her spiritual work on herself accountable for all. She did this on my wish. These journals can help you to find and walk your own path.

The sickness of her dog has brought you many important codes and today there are new ones who are based on a mishap of my scribe. The witch has shot onto her and she has asked me for the appropriate code. She got some more who have to do with the back and problems that are related with it.

But I please ask you to see a doctor when you have such problems because a prolapse of a disc can easily lead to complications or a damage of nerves. The healing codes I give you today should but alleviate the healing and pain relief and also help to reverse the damage.

Now, here they are and some more.

71 91 334 for lumbago

87 47 838 for problems with the sciatic nerve

78 78 833 for prolapsed intervertebral disc

89 87 438 for a bulge of an intervertebral disc

81 74 311 for eczema in general

38 37 684 for feeling of fullness

86 66 431 for flatulence

18 19 811 for first aid in heatstroke together with other measures

33 14 993 for sunstroke

By now you know that these numerical orders work very well. You are more trained now with their use.

My scribe uses them very often although they don’t work for her personally not so well anymore but this has other reasons. Her body was damaged too much in the last years and she knows now also, that all the illnesses that you have, my beloved child and my other children too, do affect her body. She is very close to me and One with all that is and this awareness let her feel these things on her own body. As she will soon ascend a last time she can already rejoice that her further existence will be much more enjoyable.

My beloved child, I don’t like to make prophecies or to give dates, but in this case I can tell you with a heart full of joy, that the end of the illusion in which you live is near. I can’t tell you when the veil of forgetfulness and illusion will eventually raise, there are still some things that must all play together first.

Your call for changes has been heard and much that has been prepared until now can now get under way. I don’t want to reveal too much because it shall be a big surprise for you. A wonderful surprise. Until then and forever I embrace you with my inifinite and limitless love for you. ~

God said:
You must must must excuse yourself from wrong-doings of the past and from things you didn’t do then that now you wish you had. How you may wish you had. It’s too late now. You absolutely must let bygones be bygones. You must must must get yourself out from under.

There is no one on Earth who has done everything the way he wishes now that he would have. And, oh, yes, the pain of what you could have done and simply weren’t quick enough to do — too inhibited, too unaware, too unable at the moment to put it together with flying colors.

All these matters that haunt you, you have to let them go. You have to let yourself off the hook. You weigh yourself down with these self-accusations, again and again. Say you’re sorry to the person if the person is alive. And if you regret so deeply something you didn’t do the way you wish you had concerning someone whose body has left, say you’re sorry now and stop making your heart ache over your unremitting guilt.

And if you don’t know where the person is now, or whether he or she is on Earth or in Heaven, say you’re sorry as well. Say how sorry you are you did or didn’t do whatever it was. You have to do this. You have to let yourself go from regrets and from egregious pain of guilt. Guilt is no more than lashing yourself. You have lashed yourself a hundred times harking back to the past. If you held onto to someone else in this fashion, it would be called resentment. No longer resent yourself for once being less aware than you are now.

Do you lash yourself again and again because you didn’t know how to spell a word? Maybe if you lost a spelling bee on account of that misspelling, you would. I entreat you to let go of anything that causes you a morsel of pain. Live today and pass by yesterday and all the days and years before.

For rue, regret, sorrow, anxiety, and guilt, substitute gratitude. Be grateful that you know better now. Be grateful that you once saw differently and now see better. Be grateful. Be grateful that you can toss these harbored feelings to the wind and move forward without a black mark on you.

Beloveds, there is no one who would not let you pass by all that has caused you this turmoil that grinds in you. No one whom you ever hurt or neglected would want you to be bound so to the past. So then you must free those whom you offended, whether by your thoughtlessness or deliberation. Let it go. Let your aching thoughts go.

All the things you have said or not said, let them go.

All the feelings you have had or not had, give them up.

The theme for today is letting go. Let go. Regret and guilt hold you back. And if today there is something new that you rue and regret, say you’re sorry now. To say you’re sorry when you are sorry is a great relief. In any case, now, today, you have to close the chapter.

There are too many opened books in your mind. It is like you have become an accountant of debits. Forget the debits and remember the assets. When you keep trespasses of your own or anyone’s to yourself, that is something to regret. Do it no more.

True, you cannot go back and remedy your part in whatever it was, yet today gives you an opportunity to go higher. Feel good about today. Today be more thoughtful to someone else. Pardon yourself from even the past of yesterday. Be not your own parole officer or executioner. Write yourself your own parole if that helps. Beloveds, set yourselves free from the past. Pardon your past. This is My Will.

This is an introductory article to The Culture of Awareness, which is the blog I’ve created to replace The Aquarius Paradigm.

All around this evolving planet, people are awakening to the existence of spirit and the necessity to move beyond our old and instated ways of being, and as they do, they seek likeminded people who are aware of the same things as them.

The conscious community is growing by the day, and we’re contributing to the blossoming movement of seekers who understand that we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. Plenty of people have proclaimed their dissatisfaction with the broken manner in which our planet currently functions, and we’re influencing the rest of humanity like never before.

The purpose of The Culture of Awareness blogis to provide another outlet for awakening seekers to get their voices heard. We’re here to change the planet, and we’re here to help everyone become aware of spirit and the fact that they’re infinite vessels for love. Read more…

Saul: The Way Out of This Exhausting and Repetitious Cycle is to Let Go of All Your Defenses, as channeled by John Smallman, May 28, 2014 – http://tinyurl.com/o36x4fu

The all inclusive and integrated oneness of God and all that He creates is becoming impossible for humanity to remain unaware of. Modern physics has made it abundantly clear that everything is connected to everything else! There is no separation; separation is an illusion that you have believed in and which has brought you much pain, but it is unreal.

Because you believed in it you were fearful and felt the need to protect yourselves against others by building defenses – sarcasm, wit, humor, dismissal, judgment, and attack. Protection, defense, and attack are all reactions to your fear, the state that your apparent separation encourages you to believe in, but to engage with them is to inflict pain on yourself!Everything you think, say, or do affects the whole of creation even though this is not apparent to you while you remain in your state of very limited consciousness.

However, Reality, Heaven, Oneness with your Source can never be damaged or even offended because It is the supreme sovereign state of infinite Love, complete in and of Itself, containing and embracing all, and in opposition to nothing because there is nothing apart from It. Read more…

Do you sense it too? Are you able to recognize it? Finally “CHANGE” has been manifested in Reality. We now have arrived in the solcalled “NEW ENERGY” – the “NEW TIME”.

We – i.e. all of us are meant here – we eventually have arrived at that point where CREATION wanted us to be. We finally have reached this great mutual target of ours by way of well-directed messages, energies of manifold kinds, mutually work together with many lightworking people and last not least with some great assistance from the realms of spiritual hierarchies too.

At last we turned into the last lap of the leap the socalled “Finish Line” and we now may concentrate fully and wholly on our very own individual ASCENCION.

Manifold matters our mentors/teachers from the upper spiritual hierarchy have taught us. Many matters having been foretold us never manifested into reality and many of them which they explained turned out to be now somewhat differently than at the time of their publications. And you are very right when asking why that is so ? Spiritual hierarchies makes use of our way of expressing ourselves in wording, thinking, our very metaphors and understanding of texts in order to make something more comprehensible to us for something for which Spirit has no knowledge of words.

With Spirit everything is a matter of Energy. There are no concepts of language, expressed in words, emotions and everything else which is substantial for our human being – all this does not exist in the realm and level of spiritual experience. There is only and solely ONE MATTER in existence viz. “LIGHT AND LOVE”.Well, what is it originally about LIGHT and LOVE – you will query yourselves and I may explain thereto : “they are only one expression of Spirit in order to bring closer to us something for which they have neither words nor any conceptions. And what is it that is existing in the spiritual realms?

It is “EVERY-THING” and NO-THING” in existence there and this always at the same time for ever and ever. To explain this fully Spirit is not capable since All is solely ENERGY.

There is – or there is no energy at all and such is the entire knowledge of Spirit and HE attempts to bring this idea closer to our imagination and perception. Soon Spirit will not be complied to give us further explanations because we shall wake up and may then perceive everything they have tried so hard and with much patience to explain to us.

Do you sense now all this change having arrived in your inner core? If not – all is well and if you do – all is well too. It is irrelevant as everybody has expressed his/her wish how to experience his/her very time of ascension. Everything is alright and will come at the right time. Each one of us will achieve it if is laid down in our soul-contracts. Everyone being prepared and set for it in his/her heart will have felt it already and those without such sensation – they will get to this point – I cann assure you. Nobody will be left here and has to stay on here for everybody will be able to ascend. It all is solely a question of time.

By the way Spirit told us always she has some sort of problem with “TIME As Such” and that is why she never gave us any informations in respect of “exact points of time” nor any forecast when certain events would occur. Do you feel this is right? And if I tell you now that Spirit knows quite well – on the contrary – how to go about with ‘Time As Such’ will this become some sort of disappointment or surprise for you?

SPIRIT IS and CAN DO EVERYTHING! Even regarding the matter of time Spirit may apply on all levels for it is their very speciality. Since ‘Time” is her allied partner for with “Time” is well playing with and it may be applied in some wonderful ways in case to bring some matter or issues closer to us mankind which are not being perceived by us entirely and exactly.

Very soon all such spiritual teaching will be given to us and we shall be shown accordingly how spiritual realms will exert their influence on “Time as such”, events, emotions, and simply on Everything-there-is – in order that we may go through our experience of learning. Be curious and eager for everything that will come! Everything will be clear and transparent then and everybody of us all will recognize what it is to AWAKEN.

A new paradigm is emerging that recasts how we relate to and understand nature, supported by new scientific evidence. Plants instruct us through their behavior, through their interdependence with the environment, and through direct transmissions conveyed by spirit. Dennis will be joined by some of the leading experts in the emerging field of plant intelligence, including: Chris Kilham, Stephen Harrod Buhner, Tony Wright, Dayna Baumeister, and Simon G. Powell.

Ayahuasca History

Of the numerous plant hallucinogens utilized by indigenous populations of the Amazon Basin, perhaps none is as interesting or complex, botanically, chemically, or ethnographically, as the hallucinogenic beverage known variously as ayahuasca, caapi, or yagé. The beverage is most widely known as ayahuasca, a Quechua term meaning “vine of the souls,” which is applied both to the beverage itself and to one of the source plants used in its preparation, the Malpighiaceous jungle liana, Banisteriopsis caapi (Schultes 1957). In Brazil, transliteration of this Quechua word into Portuguese results in the name hoasca. Ayahuasca, or hoasca, occupies a central position in mestizo ethnomedicine, and the chemical nature of its active constituents and the manner of its use make its study relevant to contemporary issues in neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, and psychiatry.

What is Ayahuasca?

In a traditional context, ayahuasca is a beverage prepared by boiling or soaking the bark and stems of Banisteriopsis caapi together with various admixture plants. The admixture employed most commonly is the Rubiaceous genus Psychotria, particularly P. viridis. The leaves of P. viridis contain alkaloids that are necessary for the psychoactive effect. Ayahuasca is unique in that its pharmacological activity is dependent on a synergistic interaction between the active alkaloids in the plants. One of the components, the bark of Banisteriopsis caapi, contains ß-carboline alkaloids, which are potent MAO inhibitors; the other components, the leaves ofPsychotria viridis or related species, contain the potent short-acting psychoactive agent N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT is not orally active when ingested by itself but can be rendered orally active in the presence of a peripheral MAO inhibitor, and this interaction is the basis of the psychotropic action of ayahuasca (McKenna, Towers, and Abbott 1984).

There are also reports (Schultes 1972) that other Psychotriaspecies are similarly utilized in other parts of the Amazon. In the northwest Amazon, particularly in the Colombian Putumayo and Ecuador, the leaves of Diplopterys cabrerana, a jungle liana in the same family as Banisteriopsis, are added to the brew in lieu of the leaves of Psychotria. The alkaloid present in Diplopterys, however, is identical to that in the Psychotria admixtures, and pharmacologically, the effect is similar. In Peru, various admixtures in addition to Psychotria or Diplopterys are frequently added, depending on the magical, medical, or religious purposes for which the drug is being consumed. Although a virtual pharmacopoeia of admixtures are occasionally added, the most commonly employed admixtures (other thanPsychotria, which is a constant component of the preparation) are various Solanaceous genera, including tobacco (Nicotiana sp.), Brugmansia sp., and Brunfelsia sp. (Schultes 1972; McKenna et al. 1995). These Solanaceous genera are known to contain alkaloids, such as nicotine, scopalamine, and atropine, which affect both central and peripheral adrenergic and cholinergic neurotransmission. The interactions of such agents with serotonergic agonists and MAO inhibitors are essentially unknown in modern medicine.

Focus of the Present Historical Perspective

The present chapter presents a brief overview of the history of ethnopharmacological investigations of ayahuasca, which has been a topic of fascination to ethnographers, botanists, chemists, and pharmacologists ever since it first became known to science in the mid-nineteenth century. For expository purposes, the history of ayahuasca ethnopharmacology can be divided into several segments, starting with the prehistoric origins of the beverage and leading up to the present, where ayahuasca is still an active area of research. The modern history of ayahuasca can be dated from the mid-nineteenth century. The focus of the present chapter is on the ethnopharmacologic history of ayahuasca, though it should be noted that this unique beverage has historically impacted religion, politics, and society, as well as science, (e.g., in the Brazilian goverment’s acceptance of the legitimacy of the sacramental use of ayahuasca beverages by the UDV and other Brazilian syncretic sects) and the implications and consequences of its continued and spreading use is likely to be felt on a number of levels now and in the future.

Prehistoric Roots of Ayahuasca

The origins of the use of ayahuasca in the Amazon Basin are lost in the mists of prehistory. No one can say for certain where the practice may have originated, and about all that can be stated with certainty is that it was already spread among numerous indigenous tribes throughout the Amazon Basin by the time ayahuasca came to the attention of Western ethnographers in the mid-nineteenth century. This fact alone argues for its antiquity; beyond that, little is known. Plutarco Naranjo, the Equatorian ethnograper, has summarized what little information is available on the prehistory of ayahuasca (Naranjo 1979, 1986). There is abundant archeological evidence, in the form of pottery vessels, anthropomorphic figurines, snuffing trays and tubes, etc., that plant hallucinogen use was well established in the Ecuadorian Amazon by 1500–2000 B.C. Unfortunately, most of the specific evidence, in the form of vegetable powders, snuff trays, and pipes, is related to the use of psychoactive plants other than ayahuasca, such as coca, tobacco, and the hallucinogenic snuff derived from Anadenanthera species and known as vilka and various other names. There is nothing in the form of iconographic materials or preserved botanical remains that would unequivocally establish the prehistoric use of ayahuasca, although it is probable that these pre-Colombian cultures, sophisticated as they were in the use of a variety of psychotropic plants, were also familiar with ayahuasca and its preparation.

The lack of data is frustrating, however, particularly in respect to a question that has fascinated ethnopharmacologists since the late 1960s when its importance was first brought to light through the work of Richard Schultes and his students. As mentioned above, ayahuasca is unique among plant hallucinogens in that it is prepared from a combination of two plants: the bark or stems of Banisteriopsis species, together with the leaves of Psychotria species or other DMT-containing admixtures. The beverage depends on this unique combination for its activity. There seems small likelihood of accidentally combining the two plants to obtain an active preparation when neither is particularly active alone, yet we know that at some point in prehistory, this fortuitous combination was discovered. At that point, ayahuasca was “invented.”

Just how this discovery was made, and who was responsible, we may never know, though there are several charming myths that address the topic. Mestizo ayahuasqueros in Peru will, to this day, tell you that this knowledge comes directly from the “plant teachers” (Luna 1984), while the mestres of the Brazilian syncretic cult, the UDV, will tell you with equal conviction that the knowledge came from “the first scientist,” King Solomon, who imparted the technology to the Inca king during a little publicized visit to the New World in antiquity. In the absence of data, these explanations are all that we have. All that we can say with confidence is that the knowledge of the techniques for preparing ayahuasca, including knowledge of the appropriate admixture plants, had diffused throughout the Amazon by the time the use of ayahuasca came to the attention of any modern researcher.

Scientific Discovery of Ayahuasca – The 19th Century

The archeological prehistory of ayahuasca is likely to remain inextricably bound up with its mythical origins for the rest of time, unless some artifact should be uncovered that would unequivocally establish the antiquity of its usage.

By contrast, what might be called the modern or the scientific history of ayahuasca is traceable to 1851, when the great English botanist Richard Spruce encountered the use of an intoxicating beverage among the Tukano of the Rio Uapes in Brazil (Schultes 1982). Spruce collected flowering specimens from the large jungle liana used as the source of the beverage, and this collection was the basis for his classification of the plant as Banisteria caapi; it was reclassified as Banisteriopsis caapi by the taxonomist Morton in 1931 as part of his revision of the generic concepts within the family Malpighiaceae.

Seven years later, Spruce again encountered the same liana in use among the Guahibo on the upper Orinoco of Colombia and Venezuela, and, later the same year, found the Záparo of Andean Peru taking a narcotic beverage, prepared from the same plant, which they called ayahuasca. Although Spruce’s discovery predates any other published accounts, he did not publish his findings until 1873, when it was mentioned in a popular account of his Amazon explorations (Spruce 1873). A fuller exposition was not to appear until Spruce published his account in A. R. Wallace’s anthology in 1908, Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon and Andes (Spruce 1908). Credit for the earliest published reports of ayahuasca usage belongs to the Ecuadorian geographer Manuel Villavicencio, who, in 1858, wrote of the use of ayahuasca in sorcery and divination on the upper Rio Napo (Villavicencio 1858). Although Villavicencio supplied no botanical details about the plant used as the source of the beverage, his account of his own self-intoxication left no doubt in Spruce’s mind that they were writing about the same thing.

Throughout the remainder of the nineteenth century, various ethnographers and explorers continued to report on their encounters of the use of an intoxicating beverage prepared by various indigenous Amazonian tribes, and purportedly prepared from the “roots” (Crévaux 1883), of various “shrubs” (Koch-Grünberg 1909) or “lianas” (Rivet 1905) of uncertain botanical provenance. Unlike Spruce, who had the presence of mind, not only to collect botanical voucher specimens, but also materials designated for eventual chemical analysis, these later investigators did not collect specimens of the plants they observed, and hence their accounts are now of little more than historical importance. One notable exception was Simson’s (1886) publication of the use of ayahuasca among Ecuadorians, noting that they “drank ayahuasca mixed with yage, sameruja leaves, and guanto wood, an indulgence which usually results in a broil between at least the partakers of the beverage.” None of the ingredients were identified, nor were voucher specimens collected, but this report is the earliest indication that other admixture species were employed in the preparation of ayahuasca.

While Richard Spruce and other adventurous Amazonian explorers were collecting the first field reports of ayahuasca from 1851 onward, the groundwork was already being laid for important work on the chemistry of ayahuasca that would take place in the second decade of the twentieth century. The nineteenth century witnessed the birth of natural products chemistry, starting with the isolation of morphine from opium poppies by the German pharmacist Sertüner in 1803. A disproportionate number of natural products isolated for the first time during this period were alkaloids, probably because these bases are relatively easy to isolate in a pure form, and partly because the plants that contain them were and are important drug plants with obvious and often dramatic pharmacological properties.

It was during this period of feverish alkaloid discovery that German chemist H. Göbel isolated harmaline from the seeds of the Syrian rue, Peganum harmala. Six years later, his colleague J. Fritsch isolated harmine from the seeds in 1847. More than fifty years later, a third alkaloid, harmalol, was also isolated from Syrian rue seeds by Fisher in 1901. Harmine, like the other ß-carbolines named after the species epithet of Peganum harmala, would later turn out to be identical to the major ß-carboline found in Banisteriopsis caapi; the definitive establishment of the equivalence of the ayahuasca ß-carboline to harmine from Syrian rue, however, would not take place until the 1920s, after harmine had been independently isolated by several investigators and given a variety of names. The final nineteenth-century event of significance in the scientific history of ayahuasca took place in 1895, with the first investigations of the effects of harmine on the central nervous system in lab animals by Tappeiner; his preliminary results were followed up more systematically by Gunn in 1909, who reported that the major effects were motor stimulation of the central nervous system with tremors and convulsions, followed or accompanied by paresis and slowed pulse (Gunn 1935).

Ayahuasca in the Early 20th Century (1900–1950)

The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed the publication of Spruce’s detailed accounts of his Amazonian explorations and his observations of the use of the narcotic beverage among several tribes that he contacted. Although brief reports had been published earlier by Spruce and others, it was Spruce’s account of his travels in a volume edited by the famed naturalist and co-discoverer of evolution A. R. Wallace in 1908 that may have rescued the knowledge of ayahuasca from the depths of academic obscurity and brought it to the attention of educated lay people.

During this early twentieth-century period, progress in the understanding of ayahuasca took place mainly on two fronts: taxonomic, and chemical. With some notable exceptions, pharmacological investigations of the properties of ayahuasca were relatively quiescent during this period.

The botanical history of ayahuasca during this period is an amusing combination of excellent taxonomic detective work by some, and egregious errors compounded upon errors by others. Safford, in 1917, asserted his belief that ayahuasca and the beverage known as caapi were identical and derived from the same plant. The French anthropologist Reinberg (1921) compounded the confusion by his assertion that ayahuasca was referable to Banisteriopsis caapi, but that yagé was prepared from an Apocyanaceous genus, Haemadictyon amazonicum, now correctly classified as Prestonia amazonica. This error, which apparently originated from an uncritical reading of Spruce’s original field notes, was to persist and propagate through the literature on ayahuasca for the next forty years. It was finally put to rest when Schultes and Raffauf published a paper specifically refuting this misidentification (Schultes and Raffauf 1960), however, it still crops up occasionally in technical literature.

Among the investigators who helped to clarify, rather than cloud, the taxonomic understanding of ayahuasca botany must be mentioned the works of Rusby and White in Bolivia in 1922 (White 1922) and the publication by Morton in 1930 of the field notes made by the botanist Klug in the Colombian Putumayo. From Klug’s collections, Morton described a new species of Banisteriopsis, B. inebriens, used as a hallucinogen, but he also asserted that at least three species, B. caapi, B. inebriens,and B. quitensis, were used similarly and that two other species, Banisteria longialata and Banisteriopsis rusbyana, may have been used as admixtures to the preparation. Curiously, it was two chemists, Chen and Chen (1939), who did the most to clarify the early taxonomic confusion about the identity of the ayahuasca source plants. These investigators, working on the isolation of the active principles of yagé and ayahuasca, supported their investigations with authentic botanical voucher specimens (a rare practice at that time) and, after a review of the literature, concluded that caapi, yagé, and ayahuasca were all different names for the same beverage, and that their source plant was identical: Banisteriopsis caapi. Subsequent work by Schultes and others in the 1950s would establish that, in fact, Malpighiaceous species other than B. caapi were implicated in the preparation of the beverage, but considering the reigning confusion of the time, Chen and Chen’s contribution was a rare light in the forest of prevailing darkness. From subsequent fieldwork, it is now quite clear that the two main botanical sources of the beverage variously known as caapi, ayahuasca, yagé, natéma, and pinde are the barks of B. caapi and B. inebriens.

The first half of the twentieth century was also the period in which the first serious chemical investigations of the active principles of ayahuasca were carried out. Like much of the initial taxonomic work taking place during this same period, scientific progress on this front was marked at first by confusion arising from the simultaneous investigations of several independent groups of investigators. Gradually, as these investigations found their way into the scientific literature, clarity began to emerge from a fairly murky picture.

Harmine, which consensus would eventually establish as the major ß-carboline alkaloid of Banisteriopsis species, had been isolated from the seeds of Peganumharmala in 1847 by the German chemist Fritsch. Its unequivocal identification was still several decades in the future when an alkaloid named “telepathine” was obtained from unvouchered botanical material called “yajé” by Zerda and Bayón in 1905 (quoted in Perrot and Hamet 1927). In 1923, an alkaloid was again isolated from unvouchered botanical materials by the Colombian chemist Fisher Cardenas (1923) and was also named telepathine; at the same time, another Colombian team, chemists Barriga-Villalba and Albarracin (1925) isolated an alkaloid, yageine. This may also have been harmine in an impure form, but the formula assigned at the time and the melting point were inconsistent for a ß-carboline structure. To compound the confusion, the vine with which Barriga-Villalba worked had been “identified” as Prestoniaamazonica, but he later revised this identification to Banisteriopsiscaapi. In all of these instances, the lack of botanical reference specimens rendered the work of dubious value.

Things began to get slightly better from 1926 into the 1950s. Michaels and Clinquart (1926) isolated an alkaloid that they called yageine from unvouchered materials. Shortly afterward, Perrot and Hamet (1927) isolated a substance that they called telepathine and suggested that it was identical to yageine. Lewin, in 1928, isolated an alkaloid that he named banisterine; this was shown to be identical with harmine, previously known from the Syrian rue, by chemists from E. Merck and Co. (Elger 1928; Wolfes and Rumpf 1928). Elger worked from vouchered botanical materials that had been identified at Kew Gardens as Banisteriopsiscaapi. At Lewin’s urging, based on his own animal studies, the pharmacologist Kurt Beringer (1928) used samples of “banisterine” donated by Lewin in a clinical study of fifteen post-encephalitic Parkinson’s patients and reported dramatic positive effects (Beringer 1928). This was the first time that a reversible MAO inhibitor had been evaluated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, though harmine’s activity as a reversible MAOI was not discovered until nearly thirty years later. It also represents one of the few instances where a hallucinogenic drug has been clinically evaluated for the treatment of any disease (Sanchez-Ramos 1991).

Working from vouchered botanical materials supplied by Llewellyn Williams of the Chicago Field Museum, Chen and Chen (1939) succeeded in confirming the work of Elger and Wolfes and Rumpf; these workers isolated harmine from the stems, leaves, and roots of B. caapi and confirmed its identity with banisterine, previously isolated by Lewin. In 1957 Hochstein and Paradies analyzed vouchered material of ayahuasca collected in Peru and isolated harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine. The investigations of the constituents of other Banisteriopsis species was not undertaken until 1953, when O’Connell and Lynn (1953) confirmed the presence of harmine in the stems and leaves of vouchered specimens of B. inebriens supplied by Schultes. Subsequently Poisson (1965) confirmed these results by isolating harmine and a small amount of harmaline from “natema” from Peru, identified by Cuatrecasas as B. inebriens.

Mid-Twentieth Century (1950–1980)

The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the initial scientific studies of ayahuasca and began to shed some light on the botanical sources of this curious hallucinogen and the nature of its active constituents. During the three decades from 1950 to 1980, botanical and chemical studies continued apace, and new discoveries laid the groundwork for an eventual explanation of the unique pharmacological actions of ayahuasca.

On the chemical front, the work of Hochstein and Paradies (1957) confirmed and extended the previous work of Chen and Chen (1939) and others. The active alkaloids of Banisteriopsiscaapi and related species were now firmly established as harmine, tetrahydroharmine, and harmaline. In the late 1960s however, the first detailed reports of the use of admixtures as a regular, if not invariant, component of the ayahuasca brew began to emerge (Pinkley 1969), and it soon became apparent that at least two of these admixtures, Banisteriopsisrusbyana (later reclassified by Bronwen Gates as Diplopteryscabrerana) and Psychotria species, particularly P. viridis, (Schultes 1967) were added to the brew to “strengthen and extend” the visions. A further surprise came when the alkaloid fractions obtained from these species proved to be the potent short-acting (but orally inactive) hallucinogen N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) (Der Marderosian et al. 1968). This compound had been known as a synthetic for some decades following Manske’s initial synthesis; but its occurrence in nature and its hallucinogenic properties had only come to light a few years earlier, when Fish, Johnson, and Horning (1955) had isolated it as the putative active principle in Piptadeniaperegrina (later reclassified as Anadenantheraperegrina), the source of a hallucinogenic snuff used by Indians of the Carribean, as well as the Orinoco basin of South America.

The pharmacological rationale for the discovery by Schultes, Pinkley, and others in the late 1960s that ayahuasca depended for its activity on a synergistic interaction between the MAO-inhibiting ß-carbolines in Banisteriopsis with the psychoactive but peripherally inactivated tryptamine DMT had already been provided in 1958 by Udenfriend and coworkers (Udenfriend et al. 1958). These researchers in the Laboratory of Clinical Pharmacology at NIH were the first to demonstrate that ß-carbolines were potent, reversible inhibitors of MAO. During this same period, clinical work and self-experimentation by the Hungarian psychiatrist and pharmacologist Stephen Szara (1957) with the newly synthesized DMT lead to the publication of the first reports of its profound, though short-lasting, hallucinogenic actions in humans. Szara’s experiments also lead to the first recognition that the compound is not orally active, though the mechanisms of its inactivation on oral administration were not fully understood. Ironically, several decades later, the DMT pioneer Szara would be appointed as the head of NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse).

In 1967, during the height of the Summer of Love in Haight-Ashbury, a unique symposium was held in San Francisco under the sponsorship of what was at the time the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. EntitledEthnopharmacologic Search for Psychoactive Drugs (the proceedings were later published under that title as U.S. Public Health Service Publication No. 1645, issued by the U.S. Government Printing Office) (Efron et al. 1967) this conference brought together the leading lights of the day in the emerging field of psychedelic ethnopharmacology. Participants included toxicologist Bo Holmstedt of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, chemist Alexander Shulgin, newly credentialed M.D. and marijuana researcher Andrew Weil, and others. It was the first time that a conference on the botany, chemistry, and pharmacology of psychedelics had been held, and as it happened, it was certainly the last time that such a conference would be held under government sponsorship. This landmark conference, and the publication issuing from it, which was to become a classic of psychedelic literature, was the first forum where the state of the art at the time regarding ayahuasca in its multidisciplinary aspects was revealed to the world. The symposium volume included chapters on the chemistry of ayahuasca (Deulofeu 1967), the ethnography of its use and preparation (Taylor 1967), and the human psychopharmacology of the ß-carbolines of ayahuasca (Naranjo 1967). It is an ironic commentary on the paucity of knowledge of ayahuasca at the time that the uses of tryptamine-containing admixtures, and their activation via MAO-inhibition, did not even surface for discussion at the symposium; the prevailing assumption was that the psychoactivity of ayahuasca was due primarily if not entirely to the ß-carbolines.

In the five years following this conference, progress was made in understanding ayahausca pharmacology and chemistry. Schultes and his students Pinkley and der Marderosian published their initial findings on the DMT-containing admixture plants (Der Marderosian et al. 1968; Pinkley 1969), fueling speculation that DMT, orally activated by ß-carbolines, was responsible for much of the activity of the brew. This notion, although plausible, would not be scientifically confirmed for another decade.

In 1972, Rivier and Lindgren (1972) published one of the first interdisciplinary papers on ayahuasca, reporting on the alkaloid profiles of ayahuasca brews and source plants collected among the Shuar people of the upper Rio Purús in Peru. At the time, their paper was one of the most thorough chemical investigations of the composition of ayahuasca brews and source plants that referenced vouchered botanical collections. It also discussed numerous admixture plants other than the Psychotriaspecies and Diplopteryscabrerana, and for the first time provided evidence indicating that ayahuasca admixture technology was complex, and that many species were on occasion used as admixtures.

In the later 1970s a team of Japanese phytochemists became interested in the chemistry of Banisteriopsis and reported the isolation of a number of new ß-carbolines and the pyrrolidine alkaloids shihunine and dihydroshihunine (Hashimoto and Kawanishi 1975, 1976; Kawanishi et al. 1982). Most of the newly reported ß-carbolines were isolated in extreme trace amounts, however, and the possibility was later raised that they might be artifacts resulting from the isolation procedures (McKenna et al. 1984).

Late Twentieth Centrury (1980–2000)

Following publication of Rivier and Lindgren’s paper, there was little further progress on the scientific front for the remainder of the 1970s. There was no comparable follow-up to Rivier and Lindgren’s work until Terence McKenna et al. (1984) published the results of their chemical, ethnobotanical, and pharmacological investigations of ayahuasca and its admixtures, based on vouchered botanical specimens and samples of brews used by mestizo ayahuasqueros in Peru. This paper was significant because it represented the first time that the theory proposed to explain the oral activity of the beverage was experimentally confirmed. The active principal was shown to be DMT, rendered orally active by ß-carboline-mediated blockade of peripheral MAO. Assays of ayahuasca fractions in rat-liver MAO systems showed that the brews were extremely potent MAO inhibitors even when diluted many orders of magnitude.

A further important discovery was the finding that the levels of alkaloids typically found in the mestizo ayahuasca brews exceeded the levels found in the upper Rio Purús ayahuasca by Rivier and Lindgren, sometimes by an order of a magnitude or more. Based on the known human pharmacology of DMT and ß-carbolines, Terence McKenna and coworkers showed that a typical dose (100 ml) of the mestizo ayahuasca samples contained enough DMT to constitute an active dose. The investigators suggested that the lower levels of alkaloids found in the Shuar samples of Rivier and Lindgren (1972) may have resulted from the different methods used in preparation. The Shuar typically soak the Banisteriopsis and admixture plants in cold water; they do not boil the plants, nor do they reduce the volume of the final extract, as is typically done in mestizo practice. These factors explained the discrepancies in alkaloid concentration found in the two different studies or at least provided a plausible rationale to explain the differences.

The decade of the 1980s also witnessed the early contributions of the anthropologist, Luis Eduardo Luna. Working among mestizo ayahuasqueros near the cities of Iquitos and Pucallpa in Peru, Luna’s work was the first to articulate the importance of the strict diet followed by apprentice shamans, as well as the specific uses of some of the more unusual admixture plants (Luna 1984a; 1984b; 1986). He was also the first to report on the concept of “plant teachers” (plantas que enseñan), which is how many of the admixture plants are viewed by the mestizo ayahuasqueros. In 1986, McKenna, Luna, and Towers published the first comprehensive tabulation of the species used as admixtures and the biodynamic constituents contained in them, pointing out that these relatively uninvestigated species comprise an extensive folk pharmacopoeia worthy of closer scrutiny as potential sources of new therapeutic agents (McKenna et al. 1995).

While conducting fieldwork together in the Peruvian Amazon in 1985, McKenna and Luna first began discussing the possibility of conducting a biomedical investigation of ayahuasca. The superior health of the ayahuasqueros, even at advanced ages, seemed remarkable and something that could be amenable to scientific study. The logistical challenges of carrying out such work in Peru, however, seemed daunting, since access to storage facilities for plasma samples was limited and local concepts of witchcraft made it unlikely that ayahuasqueros would submit to medical procedures such as collection of blood and urine samples. The workers wrote a preliminary proposal for the project following their return from the field but did not pursue funding.

In 1991, however, a fresh opportunity to initiate such a study presented itself in Brazil. McKenna and Luna were among several foreigners invited to participate in a conference in São Paulo by the Medical Studies section of the União do Vegetal (UDV), a Brazilian syncretic religion that used ayahuasca in their ceremonies. The group’s use of ayahuasca in a ritual context (under the names hoasca, vegetal, or simply cha, “tea”), while permitted by the Brazilian regulatory authorities, was subject to provisional review. Many members of the UDV were themselves physicians, psychiatrists, or had other kinds of medical expertise and so were most receptive to the notion of conducting a biomedical study of ayahuasca when it was proposed to them by Luna and McKenna. It turns out that this had been a part of their own unspoken agenda all along and was part of the reason for inviting the foreign investigators to the first Medical Studies Conference on Hoasca. Besides the opportunity to satisfy scientific curiousity about the human pharmacology of hoasca, the UDV had a political motive for carrying out such a study; they wanted to be able to demonstrate to the Brazilian health authorities that the long-term use of hoasca tea was safe, and did not cause addiction or other adverse reactions. The UDV physicians were hoping to enlist foreign scientists to collaborate in the study. The question of how the study was to be funded had yet to be answered.

Following the 1991 conference, McKenna returned to the United States and drafted a proposal describing the objectives of the study that was to become known as the Hoasca Project. Initially, the objective was to submit the proposal to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, but as the proposal took shape it became clear that funding for the study would be unlikely to originate from any government agency. Not only were there legal, logistical, and political problems with securing NIH funds for a study to be carried out in Brazil, it was also clear that given the nature of government drug policy, the NIH would not look favorably on a proposal that was not aimed at demonstrating serious harmful consequences resulting from the use of a psychedelic drug. Fortunately, McKenna had affiliations with Botanical Dimensions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the investigation of ethnomedically important plants, and through this venue he was able to solicit generous grants from several private individuals.

With sufficient funding assured for at least a modest pilot study, McKenna enlisted the collaborative talents of various colleagues in the medical and academic communities. Eventually, a truly international, interdisciplinary study team was formed, consisting of scientists from UCLA, the University of Miami, the University of Kuopio in Finland, the University of Rio de Janeiro, University of Campinas near São Paulo, and the Hospital Amazonico in Manaus.

The team returned to Manaus in the summer of 1993 to begin the field phase of the research, which was conducted using volunteers who were members of the Nucleo Caupari in Manaus, one of the oldest and largest UDV congregations in Brazil. The team spent five weeks in Brazil administering test doses of hoasca tea to the volunteers, collecting plasma and urine samples for later analysis, and carrying out a variety of physiological and psychological measurements.

The result was one of the most comprehensive multifaceted investigations of the chemistry, psychological effects, and psychopharmacology of a psychedelic drug to be carried out in the twentieth century. Both the acute and the long-term effects of regular ingestion of hoasca tea were measured and characterized; extensive psychological evaluations, and in-depth structured psychiatric interviews were conducted with all volunteers; the nature of the serotonergic response to ayahuasca was measured and characterized; and the pharmacokinetics of the major hoasca alkaloids were measured for the first time in human plasma. Since completion of the field phase of the study, the results have been published in a number of peer-reviewed papers (Grob et al. 1996; Callaway et al. 1994, 1996, 1998) and are summarized in a comprehensive review (McKenna et al. 1998). Among the key findings were that long-time members of the UDV commonly underwent experiences that changed their lives and behavior in positive and profound ways; and that there was a persistent elevation in serotonin uptake receptors in platelets, possibly indicative of similar long-term serotonergic modulation occurring in the central nervous system that may reflect long-term adaptive changes in brain functions. The study did establish that the regular use of hoasca, at least within the ritual context and supportive social environment that exists within the UDV, is safe and without adverse long-term toxicity, and, moreover, apparently has lasting, positive influences on physical and mental health.

The Future of Ayahuasca Research

The field and laboratory phases of the Hoasca Project have been completed for sometime, and now that the last and final major paper resulting from the work has been published. Always conceived as a pilot study, the objectives of the hoasca study were modest and intended to indicate directions for future research. In this regard, the study was a remarkable success; like all good science, the study raised more questions than it answered and suggested several promising directions for future research. Now that ayahuasca has been clearly shown to be safe, nontoxic, and therapeutically useful as medicine, it is to be hoped that future researchers will devote sufficient interest, as well as funds, to the exploration of its healing potential.

Some Speculative Issues

With the completion of the Hoasca Project, there now exists a solid foundation of basic data to serve as the underpinning of future scientific investigations as their focus moves from the field to the laboratory and the clinic. But outside the perimeter of the cold light of reason cast by scientific scrutiny, there remain a number of issues surrounding ayahuasca that are unlikely be resolved by science alone, at least not by scientific methods as they are now understood. Ayahuasca is a symbiotic ally of the human species; its association with our species can be traced at least as far back as New World prehistory. The lessons we have acquired from it, in the course of millennia of coevolution, may have profound implications for what it is to be human, and to be an intelligent, questioning species within the biospheric community of species.

Although we have no certain answers, the question of the nature and meaning of the relationship between humanity and this visionary vine, and by extension with the entire universe of plant teachers, persistently troubles us. Why should plants contain alkaloids that are close analogs of our own neurotransmitters, and that enable them to “talk” to us? What “message” are they trying to convey, if any? Was it purely happenstance, purely accident, that led some early, experiment-minded shaman to combine the ayahuasca vine and the chacruna leaf, to make the tea that raised the curtain on the “invisible landscape” for the first time? It seems unlikely, since neither of the key ingredients are particulary inviting as food, and yet what else could it have been? The ayahuasqueros themselves will simply tell you that “the vine calls.” Others, trying to be more sophisticated and rational, but proffering no more satisfying explanation, will talk about plant alkaloids as interspecies pheromonal messengers and as carriers of sensoritropic cues that enabled early humans to select and utilize the biodynamic plants in their environment.

Still others, such as my brother Terence McKenna and I in our early work, and a more recent reformulation of a similar theory by anthropologist Jeremy Narby (McKenna and McKenna 1975; Narby 1998), argue that by some as yet obscure mechanism, the visionary experiences afforded by plants such as ayahuasca give us an insight—an intuitive understanding—of the molecular bedrock of biological being, and that this intuitive knowledge, only now being revealed to the scientific worldview by the crude methods of molecular biology, has always been available as direct experience to shamans and seers with the courage to forge symbiotic bonds with our mute but infinitely older and wiser plant allies.

Such notions are surely speculative and are certainly not science; but to an observer of the contemporary world, who has been involved both scientifically and personally with ayahuasca for many years now, I find it very interesting that such “wild” speculations keep reasserting themselves, no matter how much we try to desacralize the tea and render it down to a matter of chemistry and botany, receptor sites and pharmacology. All of those things are important, certainly; but none of them will ever explain the undeniable and profound mystery that is ayahuasca.

Collapse of the wave function is a common quantum physics term that stems from the famous double-slit experiment popularized by physicist Richard Feinman. The double-slit experiment demonstrates that matter and energy can display characteristics of both waves and particles.[i]

Simply stated, scientists were interested in exploring the nature of an electron and wanted to determine whether it was a particle or a wave. When they were in the room observing the electron, it behaved as a particle, which conformed to their expectations. When scientists left the room and were not observing the electron, but videotaped the activity, the electron behaved like an indiscriminate wave. Scientists concluded that the expectations of the researchers collapsed the wave function, changing it from probable wave states to particle-based fixed forms. They concluded that, indeed, the consciousness of the observer collapses the wave function.

So why are we concerned with what a particle may be doing or whether it is waving or not waving when we are not looking at it? When we understand that our observations and expectations actually influence the apparent behavior of reality, then we are empowered to actively play with interactive reality-creation. Reality is neither particle nor wave. It is both and neither simultaneously, and as co-creators with universal consciousness, we influence how reality shapes itself.

Likewise, in our continual observations of our reality, and ourselves, we repeatedly collapse the wave function into a state of sameness, or a state of no-change. We perceive through the same lens of awareness, and that collapses the wave function from various possibility states into the ones we have chosen to observe for ourselves. Our limited lens of awareness creates perceptual biases that filter what we are able to notice and experience.

How we perceive life is a result of how we collapse wave functions. Our perspectives, our observations, our opinions, our thoughts, and our beliefs are continually collapsing the wave function from unlimited possibilities, to probability states, into what we actually observe and perceive as our experience. We see what we expect to see, and we are continually and consistently collapsing the wave function.

When we play in a powerful morphic field, such as ME, it is presumed that we are uncollapsing the wave function from a particle-based, fixed, immutable, limited-perspective reality. We are uncollapsing the wave function froma single causal reality, which is a state of no-change with no flexibility, into wave-based states of possibilities or a state of flux.[ii]From a wave-based state of flux, we are able to perform what is referred to as a second weak-collapse of the wave function into a new configuration of consciousness, a new state of change. We are able to move from a state of no-change with no flexibility, to a state of flux, to a new state of change or transformation.

The collapse of the wave function is what happens when we exercise choice. Consider that the field of consciousness potential is a coherent smear of infinite information and undifferentiated potential. Consciousness potential is all-inclusive and excludes nothing. Out of a coherent, undifferentiated infinite field, which is much like a motionless sea of potential, distinct possibility states well up as waves in the expanse that decoheres from the all into subsets. These subsets remain part of the all, but they have wavelike characteristics that are in motion and can be tracked by the intuitive right brain. From that state of decoherence, these possibility waves become even more probable in that some waves have more density or are more heavily weighted with information. Possibility waves that are more densely weighted become probability states that are then more likely to collapse. When we allow for choice to enter through the left brain logic frame of the observer, there is a collapse of the wave function from multiple probable states into actuality, much like a drop of water coalescing with the sand. Wave transforms into particle, as consciousness, through individual observation, collapses into wave function, and what is noticed is matter, form, and experience.

Collapse of Wave Function and Torsion Fields

When we collapse the wave function from possibility to actuality as a defined personal perspective (particle of reality), this particle of electron-perspective has a spin (an angular momentum of perspective). Each perspective or particle spin creates a torsion field in its wake.[iv]

An individual perspective, represented and reflected by the wave function collapse, also creates a torsion field that is encoded as part of collective consciousness. As we know, torsion fields can transmit and receive information anywhere at anytime. Thus, our personal perspective creates a torsion field that encodes the information of our angle or personal vantage point. This torsion field is then enfolded within the torsion fields of the ether, or the universal fabric of consciousness. Our unique spin on things is encoded in the hologram.

Our choices, thoughts, emotions, and consistently held states are available for others to resonate with, through torsion fields. This is perhaps why our personal thoughts, emotions, choices, and resonance can influence the world, which lends exciting understanding to Mahatma Gandhi’s famous proclamation, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

When we become the change we wish to see, our individual body hologram of light emits torsion fields based on the spin of our particular electrons or personal vantage point. Change the spin, and you change what becomes more likely to occur for you and for the collective consciousness.

Our thoughts, emotions, and choices do not happen in a vacuum; they influence what is expressed from the vacuum of infinite potential. How we collapse the wave function, as well as how we uncollapse the wave function, influences everything, because everything is connected and everything is synchronized through reciprocal torsion-field communication by one, with the all.

Our personal perspectives, which can change in an instant, have an effect that reverberates out to collective consciousness. This ripple effect has no limits in the same way universal consciousness is unlimited in its potential.

Playing in Waves Changes the Tide and Current

Some speculate that an uncollapse of the wave function happens naturally when we play. Play puts us in our hearts and enables us to bypass our linear, logical, analytical brain, which constructs reality based on what is familiar. The logical part of the brain compartmentalizes and segregates information. It sorts through information, based on similarities, by categorizing and organizing what it encounters. It notices what is the same, not what is different. This part of our awareness separates, identifies, and names. The linear, logical part of the brain, often referred to as the left brain, is a serial processor that is capable of tracking little more than a few bits of information at a time. As such, the left brain maintains order in reality by collapsing the wave function from multiple waves of possibilities into just one choice. Each choice seems to follow the prior choice in a linear, sequential fashion.

The reasoning left brain part of awareness decides what to perceive, based on what it already knows, and then only what is familiar is noticed and subsequently experienced. The left brain appears to be governed by a separative, particle-based reality. The left brain is the mechanism that chooses. It subjects its awareness to only the limited drop of water, which has separated out from the wave into the sand. The left brain collapses the wave function; perceiving with limitations, to see exactly what it expects to see.

When we learn to expand our awareness into a state of playfulness, beyond any expectations, agendas, or attachment to outcomes, beyond what we expect to see, beyond thinking, then we enter into the domain of right brain awareness. By perceiving via the intuitive right brain, we are able to readily uncollapse the wave function into various possibility waves that await our further recognition.

The intuitive part of our brain, often referred to as the right brain, is a parallel processor that is able to track and follow multiple waves of possibilities simultaneously. The right brain can track patterns of information as probabilities before they become actualized. The language of the right brain is symbolic in nature and is very pattern oriented. It can track and follow connections that typically are not captured by the segregating serial processing of the left brain. The right brain appears to be governed by waves of interconnecting grids of possibilities. It is able to follow many waves prior to their becoming droplets of choice in the sand.

By dropping down into the field of the heart, we enter into a coherent state of awareness, thus bypassing the segregation and limitations of the mind and accessing the totality of consciousness before the wave collapses.

We go directly to the sea of coherent potential that resides in the field of the heart. We tap into consciousness potential by connecting to the most authentic part of ourselves that knows itself as whole, limitless, timeless, and dimensionless. We leverage coherence within a unified field when we drop into heart-centered awareness. There is no doing from that state of heart-centered being. It is an altered state of consciousness that, when embodied, becomes a vehicle for a new reality based in unity, love, and limitless potential.

Dropping into the torus field of the heart is as easy as breathing. We usually do not think about breathing, and yet it happens. Similarly, we often do not notice when we are in or out of our heart space. Noticing heart-centered awareness assists us in consistently and effortlessly accessing a space of grace where transformation is most likely to occur.

God said:
Consider the world nothing but love stirring. I tell you that I love you with all My heart. You make Me happy. You make Me smile. You make Me laugh. I enjoy you, and never do I leave you.

I am with you before, after, and between time on Earth. You are the embrace in My heart that never ends. You are the embrace and the call of My heart. Our hearts resound. Our hearts sing and dance. I lift you up to the Highest Heavens, and you are light in My arms. I know no weight. I know only light and lightness. You are beyond the threshold of My heart. You are over the door-sill. You are My companion for all-time.

You are My delight. There is room always for My delight. You are One Child I carry as if cradled in My heart. I carry you everywhere, and I swing along with you. How We love. We know naught else. There is no effort to our love, no weight to it. We bounce along in love. We come across more love on the way, and We add more love as We strew more love along the way.

Our love is like seeds We strew, leaving nothing but love in the wake. There is nothing but love to leave and nothing but love to see ahead. There is nothing but love on the loose. Love looks for where love can be planted and grow, and this is all-around everywhere.

We draw a picture of love, as if starting with a dot and then swirling and swirling into an ever-widening circle. There is no end to it. Love reaches itself and is enchanted. Love leaves no place for anything else.

The whole world is rising in love. Soon there will nothing to see but love, evidence of love, and I am Love, and you are love, and all there is is love running around, bumping into love and more love, love bursting, spilling, eddying, sweeping everything within sight.

Hail to love, the whole content and purpose of the Universe, the holding and beholding of the Universe, love free for all.

Where does love come from? Everywhere. Where does love go? Everywhere. What is love? Everything. When did love begin? Love never was not. Where is my love, you may ask. You have never been without it. In the darkest moments, love was. You grabbed onto distractions along the way. Go further now. Go deeper now.

You have always been found. You were never alone. I AM with you, surrounding you, claiming you, and you are surrounded and claimed with love, crowned with love in every direction and directionless at the same time.

Love sits on the hearth and in every heart. Love knows no bounds. Love can be overlooked, yet never not unheralded. I bid you love. I bid you a good day. I bid you light. I give you a map that leads simply and clearly to the center of you who art My love. If I say you are My love, you can be sure of it.

My love is not a string I dangle. My love is forthright and strong, and you are My love wherever you may find yourself to be. There is only one place for you to be, and that is in My heart. You are My heart of hearts. We are One Heart together. We are all the love in the world wrapped up in One.

What did you get for Christmas? Why, you got Me. I am a long-lasting gift. I give you Myself, and We walk into Infinity where We belong and always have been. We hold hands. We hop and skip into Eternity holding hands. What else is there to do? Where else can We be but together in Eternity?

We observe what you call the “hotspots” of negative energy brought about by the confrontation of groups that have different aims in life. Some choose to impose them on others with the result that clashes take place that often lead to a serious outcome. These are yet further lessons for all concerned until they realise that differences must be settled through peaceful negotiations, and are the only way forward. Man has almost always sought to settle differences through the use of threats or violence to gain his own way. The message that peaceful negotiations are the only way to achieve a peaceful settlement is just beginning to be accepted, and the people are leading the way.

Sooner rather than later your leaders will realise that there is only the one way forward to permanent peace. With it will come great changes that will move you out of the lower vibrations into a peaceful era. Our presence helps to ensure that matters do not fall back into the old patterns of confrontation, as we are preventing the dark Ones from progressing from their present position. We have been given the authority to intervene where it is necessary to maintain the progress towards full peace, and a total end to warlike confrontations. So be assured that regardless of any outward appearance steady progress is being made towards the goals that have been set.

In the greater picture we are constantly monitoring your weather and its effect upon you, but certain necessary changes must be allowed to go ahead as part of the moves that will take you into the New Age. The groundwork is going ahead in respect of a number of different projects, and at a desirable speed and many new ideas are waiting to be revealed. Quite a number of them are already known to you, and it is simply a matter of waiting until the right time to introduce them. In one way or another you will eventually be able to change your way of living to eliminate many aspects that are costly and time consuming. Free energy would clearly represent a major change and one that would be very welcome. It is already known in a number of ways that can help every family, and it is eventually going to supply all of your needs regardless of the numbers involved.

There are also many changes to come where your medical profession is concerned, as by moving into the higher energies you will no longer be subject to the “cut and cure” approach. Indeed, it will become unnecessary as the body vibrations will eventually rise to a point when no disease will be able to assail your body. Meantime you will gradually refine the ways treatment is given, and reduce the need to use the knife. Diseases of many kinds are rampant upon Earth, but these also will gradually disappear due to the increase in vibrations. So you can see that your future is bright and that all undesirable aspects of life will disappear.

We know that some of you wonder why it has taken so long to reach this point in time, and it is down to each Age having passed without sufficient progress having been made. However, you have now succeeded in reaching a sufficiently high vibration to leave the old ones behind, and soon you will start to experience the benefits that come with it. There is so much changing even now that you are unaware of although certain people follow the changes as part of their work. Your problem is that so much is still kept secret and additionally there are those who oppose progress and seek to “muddy the waters”.

As individuals you can help others through what is for many a difficult period, by assuring them that all will take a turn for the better very soon. That what they experience going on around them is only the outer activity of magnificent changes that will permanently change things for the better. The old ways are no longer suited to the time you are in and as such will simply fade away. Some people will be frightened by what they see but if you have the opportunity to speak with them, simply explain that it is a necessary cleansing so that the New Age can really get under way. Once the cabal lose their power and influence to shape your future, the truth will come out and remarkable and welcome changes will go ahead. Be assured that we have all the means at our disposal to go speeding ahead once it is safe to do so.

Unfortunately the mainstream Press is still under the influence of the cabal, but it is an area that we are working on to remove those that “pull the strings”. The Press is not yet free to print what it chooses but when those that presently control are out of the way, revelation after revelation will open your eyes to how you have been deliberately mislead and held back for millennia of years. Try to read between the lines when news stories break, as sometimes they are contrived or totally false. The real news is held back, but in time that will no longer be possible, as many sources will begin to open up to the truth.

You are coming out of an Age where the dark ones were allowed to have free rein, by which they presented the most difficult challenges to the Light. Although the outcome was not known because freewill was given, it was considered that the Light would end up victorious. That victory took place very recently and that is why we can confidently state that you are in an unassailable position. It is simple a matter of accepting the facts that the Light has emerged victorious and will carry you into the first major changes, and also onto the new levels of vibration which you know as the 4th. Dimension.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and can assure you that all proceeds well, and in the near future you will you will understand and see the path to the higher dimension opening up. Help your fellow travellers to see the Light in action and know that their future lies with it, and that the dark Ones are in decline and will not be allowed to interfere with progress. Their day has almost passed and soon there will be revelations that will confirm their demise. It was always planned that the Light would be victorious at the end of the Age, and all Lightworkers along with souls of love and caring would lead the Human Race to the “promised land.” Let Love and Light be your guide and protection.

“We each have our own mixed bag of neurosis, insecurities, perceptions and qualities. Therefore, there is not one way that works completely for us all. Nobody can tell us what to accept; what opens up our world, and what to reject; what seems to keep us spinning in some kind of repetitive misery. This practice (meditation, mindfulness, awareness – whatever you want to call it) helps us know this basic energy very well, with tremendous warmth and honesty, and we begin to figure out for ourselves what is poison and what is medicine” –Pema Chödrön

If, as Zeno wrote, “The goal of life is living in agreement with nature” then we, as a culture, are completely failing to reach that goal. Our majority worldview is so focused upon the illusion of separation, and so at odds with nature and the natural order of things, that we’ve forgotten how everything is connected. Instead, we tend to rape and pillage the environment with unforgiving toxins, while manipulating and expropriating each other to no end.

What is medicine?

This has left us reeling as a species. We’re in a collective state of existential crisis that has never been seen in the short history of humankind, because when nature is ignored and suppressed we experience a deprivation that is not only a deprivation of nature but a deprivation of the human soul. The side-effects of which are detrimental on so many different levels – psychological, biological, ecological, and moral – that there’s no telling how much of an impact it will have, whether directly or indirectly, in the long run.

We’re at an existential crossroads. One path leads to a healthy way of living in accord with each other and with nature. The other path has us continuing our unsustainable annihilation of both nature and the human soul. We must decide which path we’re going to take. And we must be able to convince other people which one of these paths is the healthier path, all without hurting each other; a truly daunting task. But no task is more important.Read more »

Today I would like to return to your awareness an aspect of the Human condition that surrenders to a curious state called “normal.” Normal is a cultivated space, fashioned from how we see ourselves and how we’d like others to see us. It’s a weighted measure, balancing self-appraisal against the opinions and judgment of others. It is a dynamic state, subject to change depending on which way society pulls the levers on public opinion and the laws that govern social order. But most of all, normal is an assumed state of cooperation and expectation.

A scant sixty years ago, in the so-called “Bible belt” region of the Deep South, it was considered “normal” to require African Americans to sit in the back of a bus. One can therefore surmise that it must have taken an “abnormal” few to observe and recognize this as wrong. Those that voiced opposition were labeled sympathizers, resistors, agitators and radicals. And those were the nicer words. Of course now it is normal to honor these nonconformists for their courageous efforts in spear-heading the civil rights movement. So you see, “normal” is anything but what it claims to be.

In the following paragraphs we will reexamine the state of normal to see what purpose it serves, if any at all. What is normal now was not necessarily normal yesterday. And what is normal for you may not be normal for me. At any rate, normal is one of the dumbest terms to ever curse the planet. Normally I would not write on such a topic, but I thought I’d make this special exception. After all, it is normal for me to do the unexpected.

Normal This

That’s what I think of normal. The term is a tool. Those who acquiesce to its narrow and ephemeral parameters might also be considered “tools.” Does one seek normalcy because they desire this brand of conformity? If so, then what is their more noble purpose? Is it to go on mirroring and repeating everything they have been told? This regurgitation is what some might call normal— but I call it being complacent and undiscovered. Surely all people have a novel vibration that they wish to share or at least discover within themselves. So why do they insist on merely towing the line and wearing blinders? One could persuasively argue they have little choice. The normal need to earn a living and bucking the system is not the way to do it. So they play along to get along— and many will surrender their hearts ambition for the lure of a paycheck.

Were you ever given the choice to see the world as you like? -Probably not. The world as we know it was engineered into our awareness from the moment we uttered our first words. Sad to think perhaps some will never know the feeling of abnormal. A good conformist would never entertain such dirty thoughts anyway. But on the contrary, to label someone as “normal” strikes me as offensive indeed. Normal tells me that one doesn’t really understand their unique place in this world. There is nothing normal about normal. Normal is a conformity stress that can skew and shape the best of us into docile, compliant and mindless little servants. It’s a dead end. There is no need to explore further once normalcy has been achieved.

Yes, we’re all encouraged to operate within templates of normalcy. We go to school, get married, buy a house and hope for normal kids. We work our normal jobs and attend church and maybe, if we’re lucky, we’ll have the time and means to take up something truly meaningful and normal— like golf. And just as we begin to get the ever-so slightest inkling of this elusive and artificial state called normal, it’s time for us to retire or to check out of this world all together. You see, on the eighteenth hole we may indeed start asking ourselves what sinking that put was really all about. And though one may take delight in saying they played under par, I can’t help but wonder if the ball somehow played the player and not the other way around. But I’ve digressed.

That which we regard as normal is anything but. The “normal” I see takes the form of an elaborate maze cut though a corn field. We’re not allowed to peak over the stalks because then we might realize it’s all just a game. That would ruin it for you and everyone else. And we’re not allowed to shuck an ear because we might realize the corn is too perfect to be in a natural or organic state. There is something profoundly disturbing about that which is too perfect in this land of normal.

Lies Taste Good

The term “normal” follows us everywhere we go. Our doctor might say our lab test results were normal. They might also say our blood pressure is normal. Well those are the words we want to hear. Normal is good. Abnormal is bad, very bad. I was once told I had abnormally high cholesterol levels and that it was likely a “genetic” anomaly. Surely I was a walking heart attack and I was only in my early twenties. Blood thinners were recommended as were statin drugs. A genetic anomaly indeed and so I thought to do some research.

Turns out I had elderly relatives with the same condition. They took nothing for it and yet they were otherwise healthy and in their eighties. And so I chose to take nothing for my condition. My basis for normal was therefore quite different than the medical assessment. I questioned the well-meaning entity with the white coat and germ laden stethoscope. That was not the normal thing for me to do. I did not take his advice. All these years later, I’m so happy I didn’t. The very latest research now shows higher cholesterol might actually be a good indicator, whereas very low cholesterol could be a serious cause for concern. I take zero medications. Is that normal?

The normal person’s modus of operandi is to never challenge the status-quo. Eat lies like they were made of candy. Believe what we are told about JFK, 9/11, GMO’s, flu vaccinations, fluoridated water and a whole host of other yummy little fictions. Do not ask about “false flag” invasions, chemtrails, printed paper currency, or whether the “Federal” Reserve is indeed federal. Ask not these questions. Remain in this insulated cocoon called normalcy and it will protect you. Step outside of normalcy and expect to be mowed down by flag waving, Bible thumping, hypnotized, zombified lynch mobs that would swear to you that they are the normal ones. Yes, they will call you a kook— or worse. After all, that’s what they called Rosa Parks, Dr. King and so many other prominent and benevolent people of great courage and strength. If this is what being a “kook” is all about then count me in. It’s the sort of company I’d like to keep anyway.

Then there’s the normal behavior thing. A schoolteacher might tell the parents of little Johnny or Amy that their child is behaving normally in class and has a healthy and normal attitude. You should be proud. Your child is normal. What! Why would I find this so disturbing? Did the school suck away the defining aspect that made this child unique as an individual? Perhaps I would ask the teacher if they would mind defining what is meant by normal. Then I would ask if Albert Einstein was normal, if perhaps Nikola Tesla was normal, if Mother Teresa was normal, if Mahatma Gandhi was normal, if Leonardo da Vinci was normal… and anyway I think I’ve made my point. So why would I want little Johnny or Amy to be your little normal? No thank you. Class dismissed!

I understand that some may think I’m taking this whole “normal” thing out of context. I assure you I am not. Unlike the more inert and discretionary term of “typical,” normal belies an acceptable assumption of truth or fact. When the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant radiation levels were spiking during the early months of the tsunami disaster, governmental agencies were compelled to redefine what “normal” meant in terms of radiation exposure. Their solution was to simply raise the old level to a much higher one and called it safe. So now people in the Fukushima Prefecture could breathe a deep sigh of relief and relax after being told that radiation levels had been restored to normal. The “typical” readings were way off from where they had been, of course— but “normal” had been redefined to satisfy immediate concerns. Can you see why I don’t care much for that word?

Where Do We Go From Here?

There’s a road less traveled that beckons those who seek higher truth. It can be a lonely road indeed. The nonconformist takes the long way home and questions all things along the path. In doing so, they may often feel lost and vulnerable at times. But as their journey continues, they begin to acquire great wisdom. They will question all things synthetic in nature. They will question government and how it controls the masses. They will question organized religion and how it culls the population. They will question education and how is syncopates the minds of children. They will question mass media and its dubious exploitations. So where does the road go from here? -Simple. One must remain in a state of knowing. One must continue to question and yet still manage to live their lives with a smile on their face and with love in their heart.

One must allow “normal” people to see you in a proper light. One should be polite and courteous and lend a helping hand. If we are angry and overly-aggressive in our views, we’ll be relegated to that “kook” category of nonconformity. But for those who are highly principled and self-aware, they can usually articulate their views in an open and benevolent manner. Such people live by example. I’m a big fan of civility and the Gandhi-esque manner of peaceful noncompliance, love and tolerance. The most beautiful form of rebellion is to simply fold ones arms and say no. If people of all nations could muster their power and resolve to do this, there would never be another bullet fired upon another. Such a deplorable act would be considered grotesquely insane and absolutely inhuman. So there’s a glimpse of a “real” normal world as I see it. Seems we’ve got a ways to go to get there.

And so to the powers that (think you are) I want to say I am not your “normal” product; I do not believe in your NDAA. I do not believe in your Patriot Act. I do not believe in your torture and preemptive wars. I do not accept this as normal by any definition of the term. And so I say no! And I say it with authority and I say it with conviction. I am one person, but I’m awake and aware and that makes me powerful indeed. I am free to speak my mind and state my cause. I am not your minion. I possess free will and a free mind. I am not ensnared by your tainted vision of a new world order. And as testimony of the Divine, others are now waking from their slumber and are asking questions of a probing nature. I’ve come to this world to know peace— and so I do not accept the guns you hide behind your velvet curtains of deception.

Final Thought

I’m unable to digest this non-organic meatball called normal, so don’t wave it in front of me. What in the heck is rolled up in it anyway? One should think twice before putting that in their body. It pretends to be something it’s not. So what’s it all about? I sense that people have a hunch that they’ve been repeatedly lied to for a very long time. But try as they might, most just can’t quite get a grip on it. Meanwhile, the PTB keep throwing everything they’ve got at us with the hope of keeping us in some kind of a normalizing, mind swept stupor. -But why?

There are many who are feeling fearful or panicky for no obvious reason. Chronic fear turns into anxiety. Anxiety may turn into depression. Depression often turns into a doctor’s visit. The doctor’s visit turns into a prescription for an antidepressant. The antidepressant appears to help but soon more is needed. The doctor prescribes a second antidepressant to be taken along with the other. Soon additional meds are sought and delivered. They are “needed” so that one can deal with their depression along with a whole host of other medical issues that seem to be cropping up. Soon one can find themselves quite dependent on that normal person in the white coat who knows better than we do.

But here is what I have found to be true. It is not entirely correct to call it “their” depression. It is “our” depression. If our brothers and sisters are feeling depressed for no apparent reason, then I might suggest we reexamine what is called normal. Society is a seriously flawed, screwed-up, sad state of affairs that tries to pass itself off as normal. We consistently attempt to attune ourselves with this “normalized” societal standard because we’ve been trained to do so. But this creates an asymmetrical tension that can spawn a boat-load of psychological incongruities within—a sort of internal tug-of-war between what we know to be right and what society dictates as normal. So how does one manage this? Well, we can try taking the long way home.

-Until next time

About the Author

There is a certain obscurity that follows Julian Wash. After all, any writer that starts off with “Dear Humans” might be a little hard to nail down. We sense he’s benevolent, a little crazy and we think rather enjoyable to read. Email: jwash@rattlereport.com

Before the original script stil starts Colleen has written some pretext which I find not only useful but

exactly adherent to her writing hereunder : and for the sake of caring and sharing I ‘d like to

repeat here what she says in her pretext ;

Greetings from Galactic Heart . . .

Every morning, before I get out of bed, I take time to connect with my Mighty I AM Presence thru the decrees from Saint Germain’s I AM Discourse books. The article below reminds us of the importance and power of connecting and becoming one with our Mighty I AM Presence. We are being called to use every spiritual practice we know to strengthen our resolve, our commitment, and our authority to dismantle the dark and restore Heaven on Earth.

I AM my Mighty I AM, I AM. I AM my Mighty I AM.

Sending this to you from the fullness of my heart,
Colleen

and herenow comes what is the original script of hers ;

The I AM Presence is another term for the Great God Self, your higher aspect that perfectly governs all activities of your life.

The “I AM Presence” is an electronic body of blazing light substance that is individualized within each of us as the flame of life from the Source of all creation, our beloved Mother-Father God.

This Presence is our true nature… that imperishable, eternal and individual identity within each and every human being. It is that which we have been seeking to return for millennia of lifetimes, the Great God Self.

As the highest divine aspect of our vast multidimensional constitution, the I AM Presence is the original seed of love and the immortal nucleus of our entire being.

It is the Source of every constructive impulse, thought, feeling and action. Its unifying, cohesive nature is the source of all the love, wisdom and power required to overcome absolutely anything and everything that is of discordance and limitation.

As we develop intimate relationship with and give constant adoration to our Divine Presence, miracles begin to happen including instant manifestation, spontaneous transformation and absolute knowing. This occurs simply through the constancy of our unwavering focus placed upon the Greater. In doing so, spiritual energy around us intensifies and expands as the points of light within every cell of our flesh body respond in tremendous gratitude.

As our attention continuously pours out love to this love of our being, an impenetrable radiance of light forms around our body encasing us in a protective tube of light of great magnetization and transformative influence to the outer world. God, expressing as the mighty I AM Presence within each of us, is the authority of the entire Universe.

The I AM Presence hears, sees, thinks, feels and responds to only perfection on its level of cosmic service. As we consistently give adoration, feel gratitude and qualify our every activity with and through this energy stream, our daily positive impact upon life is immeasurable.

This is especially amplified when our focus is consciously combined with all of the beings of light from ‘On High’ supporting our dimensional transition. Together we coherently serve as Universal I AM, operating within all cosmic dimensions and radiating the patterns of perfection.

We are SO blessed.

God said:
Beloveds, you can rely on Me, and you can rely on yourself as well.

Now that you have been reading Heavenletters, you are closer to Me and closer to realizing how I might answer a question you ask. Or, when you have a question, you can look for some lines in any Heavenletter that could be a response to your question or a partial response to your question. You can find ten Heavenletters that speak to you. You can find a hundred, thousands.

Soon enough, you will be hearing the answers to your own questions. You know something now. You know more than you used to. You are wiser now. Not all-wise, yet wiser. Indeed, much wiser.

Come now to have more confidence in yourself. All you have to do is to let go of the past, past thoughts, past beliefs, past functioning. Cling not to the past, and cling not to answers that used to satisfy.

You are on the cusp of a new world, beloveds. You are not what you once thought you were. You are more adequate than you used to think. Or, on the contrary, you may see yourself as less adequate than you used to think you were.

In either case, this is good progress. You are a human being who is ever-learning. You are open to new learning. There is much you can learn for yourself and from yourself.

There is another aspect here as well. You don’t have to know everything. Everything does not have to be wrapped up, concluded with, sorted out. Unanswered questions are also good.

You can look at life as if you have arrived from another planet. You can see life on Earth from a new vantage. Why not? What do you have to lose but old ways of thinking? And if there is something in your old thinking that is worthy, you can keep it still.

Once upon a time, everything you thought, you thought was exemplary, yet old thinking can and does erode on its own.

There will come a time, and it is fast approaching, when you will not know ahead or plan ahead. You will not have to do. You will walk to where you are going quite naturally and spontaneously. You will simply know what to say and what to do without figuring it all out. All the answers to everything will come to you. You will knock on the right door. You will also open your door to the person meant to come to your door at that precise moment.

All the wheels of the Universe are working perfectly, and all the wheels of your life will run smoothly without your ordering them to. It will be like you have a standing order at a restaurant, and a wonderful meal is delivered to you each day, none quite like the day before, each one just right for the day, and each better than the one before.

A new day is a-coming in every sense of the word new. New world, new you, new pleasures of experience, new life for you and new life for everyone. Old ways cannot sustain themselves in a new world. All this, of course, will be without effort.

Chemicals will fall away. Natural will reign. Good earth will be sustained by the good sun and water and the loving hearts of all. Peace will reign. Negativity will not have its place any longer. No one will want it, and it will no longer serve anyone. You will see further and closer at the same time. You will serve further and closer at the same time. You, beloveds, will be the culmination of all your desires and Mine.

Two distinct forms of food are Alkaline-forming and acid-forming. Acid-forming is related to the blood pH balance in the body. This is when acids and bases in the body are properly balanced. The ideal level will be between 7.35 and 7.57. Many common illnesses and diseases are typically only found in a body that is highly acidic. This is when the blood will be facing an abnormal state and is the main reason the pineal gland begins to calcify. Acid-forming foods cause the body to pull nutrients from itself and will lead to increased acidity.

There are various ways to help the body de-calcify the pineal gland. Review a list of foods that will help the body perform this process and aid in consciousness health & wellness.

Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi (The Storm-Calmer, The Stabilizer, The Paralyzer)

Skill: slow down

Negative Imprint: obsession with what is wanted

Positive Imprint: balanced solutions

The New Moon in Gemini begins at 2:40 pm ET/ 6:40 pm UT. The Sabian symbol for the degree of the New Moon is “aroused strikers around a factory.”

This is highly interesting because it shows that a plan is being implemented by Gaia-Sophia through the aspects of herself as the Mahavidyas (also called the Wisdom Goddesses) with the New Moons. Just as Bhuvaneshvari and Tara were aligned with the New Moon in Taurus as “red cross nurses” last month, Bagalamukhi’s energy is perfectly aligned with the New Moon in Gemini and “aroused strikers around a factory.” I will go into this when I record the overview for the month ahead because Bagala’s energy is complex. For now, know that she is associated with the color yellow, lions, cranes, ducks, smoke, magic, and the power to render enemies (Archons) powerless. Bagala is stunning in many ways. Her name is pronounced “Bah-gah-la-MOO-key.” Say hello.

We began the new year in April with the energy of “a ruler of a nation” which was the signal for change. Humanity began to rise out of the enslavement of its mind; individuals felt the need to become stronger and more masterful. Breaking free energetically took a toll on everyone in April. The initial stage of historical change is always hard. Birthing the “Second Renaissance” is tough.

As May entered, the energy of the “red cross nurse” flooded in to help us heal and adjust. May was a crisis situation for the collective of humanity in that assistance was needed to deal with the massive shift/release from chains. We found ourselves in new territory carrying a heavy burden and heard a call to action or a wake up call about something in our lives. Throughout the month we viewed things from different angles and different perspectives. In the process, we more closely aligned with our path or destiny or future and the people that will be a part of it.

Now, over the next month, we will be standing up and coming forward for ourselves, for others, and for the collective of humanity. The inner discipline, strength, and fortitude that we craved in April now comes to us to stabilize us. We will come into greater balance this month. Mental stability is a wonderful gift for humanity at this time of change because change, by definition, unhinges people.

For today, recognize that any storms that are booming through your life will become calmer before the Moon is dark and new again. Breathe in the serenity that comes from knowing that solutions to problems will become evident. We will look back at the end of the month and see how stunningly it was handled.

Be prepared for things that are not in alignment with your highest and best to be cut out (stopped). We don’t focus on this, but if it happens, we say thanks instead of fretting. Let the energy take you where you need to go and make you what you need to be.
